Wonderful sweet citrus cake (a Duncan Hines recipe). Also good when lemon is substituted for orange. Very popular recipe, both at work and home.

The instructions say to use a 13x9 inch pan, but the photos show a bundt cake. Would the baking time be different for a bundt pan?

This was good for a cake mix, really light & fluffy.

Great cake. We loved this treat. It was moist, tender and oh so delicious. I used orange juice instead of water, added a little orange rind to the cake mix and a tsp of orange extract. I glazed the cake while it was hot, several times, until most of the glaze was used up. It was sheer perfection. I can't wait to make this wonderful treat again. Thank you so much for sharing. My neighbors & I really enjoyed this cake.
