Orange Glow Bundt Cake
Ready In: 1 hr 5 mins
Serves: 12
Yields: 1 cake
Ingredients
- 1 (18 1/4ounce) box yellow cake mix
- 1 1⁄3 cups water
- 1⁄3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
- 1 3⁄4 cups confectioners' sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter 12 cup bundt pan.
- Prepare cake:
- With an electric mixer beat the cake mix with the water, oil and eggs, adding the orange zest to batter. Pour into prepared pan and bake 35-45 minutes or until tooth pick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Meanwhile, make syrup:
- Heat orange juice, sugar and Tabasco sauce in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce heat; simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and reserve 1/4 cup of this syrup for glaze.
- Remove cake from oven. With a wooden skewer, poke holes in cake in several places, without removing it from pan. Spoon the syrup evenly over cake. Cool cake in pan 10 minutes.
- Carefully invert cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Combine reserved syrup and confectioner's sugar in a small bowl until smooth. Place cake on a platter and spoon glaze over cake to decorate. Garnish with orange peel curls, if desired.
