❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
We love how simple this recipe is, it starts with a cake mix but then we add orange juice and spice things up! No one will even know this is made with a mix, it comes together so well. We love cakes made from scratch but sometimes you just need a quick dessert and this is the one! It also has wonderful reviews.
🍴NEED TO KNOW
You are not making the cake by the instructions on the cake mix box. You are only using the cake mix to make this cake. The batter for this cake will be thick and that is okay. You don’t want to over mix it. Please read the comments below to see how well this cake worked for others. One person used cheesecake pudding instead of vanilla and loved it. We also use a powdered glaze on this cake but you could easily add cream cheese frosting too. We also use no pulp orange juice for this cake.
AWESOME and EASY cake
recipe. The key word being “easy”! Thank you for giving us wonderful recipes to use when we don’t have time for scratch baking! This was amazing.
STORING & SERVING SIZE
We store this cake, covered in a cool place. You can refrigerate it if you like. It makes about 10 servings.
⭐TIP
You can make this in a 9X13 but you will need to adjust the cooking time. I would check it around 30 minutes and go from there. You can see in the comments people have had luck making it in a 9X13.

Going to make this now and I will be back with how it turned out! So excited to make this my husband and children love oranges as do I.
YAY! This is a great one! Our Orange Loaf Cake is great too if you want another great orange recipe.
This is without a doubt the best damn cake I’ve ever had. A neighbor made it for us and I asked her the for recipe. She used fresh oranges rather than orange juice. So good!!
YAY!! I am so glad to hear you love this one!
Went right by your recipe, but used a chocolate glaze on top, Everyone loved it. It was soft , moist and delicious.
This has been a family gathering cake for many years from back during the years of being home in Tennessee. It started when a family friend introduced it at a Thanksgiving gathering and it has appeared at many holidays since. Our friend is no longer among us, but we think of her always at any gathering that features one of her wonderful recipes she shared with us. Thank you for sharing this with all your readers too.
I made this cake and it was SO delicious. My husband said it was the best cake he ever tasted!! High praise! I did not use a Bundt pan, it came out great in a 9 x 13 with adjusted cooking time. I used vanilla extract instead of orange. We skipped on the icing and it was still THAT good. Love love love!! Sharing with anyone I can!
My rating is for how it sounds – I have not made it yet, but I have faith! Haha
My question is: Can I use sugar free pudding mix instead of the regular? There is a great weight difference, so I thought I’d ask before I ruin a great sounding recipe.
I can’t advise as I’ve never tried it, but I don’t think it would cause an issue. Good luck!
O. M. G. ! Moist, Delish, Refreshing… the Birthday Lady had 3 pieces! I must say I could of done some serious damage too.. it was wonderful.
Ty so much for recipe. I beat mixture for 4 min and was a nice thick battery. Not sure why someone said it was thin.
Cooled 10 min and flipped on plate and glazed then cooled completely and refrigerator over night… so good. Definetly a keeper.
Ty again!
So glad it was a hit for you!!
Love love your wonderful delicious recipes That YOU so VERY MUCH for Sharing
You are very welcome!
We love this cake. The only change I make is to butter the Bundt pan and sprinkle it with coarse sugar then add the cake batter. It gives the cake a wonderful sweet crispness on the outside.
Has anyone attempted to add chopped mandarin oranges into the batter? I’m concerned they are so moist and heavy they may just fall to the bottom of the pan.
Thank you for the easy orange Bundt cake recipe. It is very considerate of you to include recipes that are used with a mix to make it quick for people that are busy with other things or get off work late.
Thank you Sharon for the kind comment! We know life can be busy and it’s nice sometimes to make a quick cake. Have a wonderful week 🙂
1 1/4 cups fresh orange juice ? I followed the recipe and the batter was so thin. It fell during baking.
Are the ingredients correct?
Yes, the ingredients are correct. Please see all the comments below yours as to how many have made and love this cake. As the recipe says, “the batter is very thick,” so if your batter was thin, you must have forgotten to add something or you over mixed it. Thanks!
Love the recipies want to get recipie’s from this page’
I must print this and add it to my Cake Doctor cookbook. I used to make Cake Doctor cakes for my former co-workers frequently before I retired. I love orange cake and I’m sure my neighbors would love it as well.
Delicious and so very moist. Truly a winner! Thanks so much for sharing.
Made the Easy Orange Bundt Cake this weekend. Used an Orange Supreme cake mix I had & a box of cheesecake flavored pudding (my boys do not like french vanilla) . Used both 1t of vanilla & 1t of orange extract, added a cup of dried sweetened cranberries. Poked holes in hot cake in pan and drizzled glaze made of orange juice and 1cup powdered sugar into it & let soak in before removing from pan. My boys LOVED IT. I was informed to make it again soon ! Thanks Southern Lady !!
Linda, so glad to hear you and your boys enjoyed the cake!!
Loving all the recipes on here ! Thank you ! Going to try the orange bundt cake but will use a cheesecake flavored pudding mix as my boys detest French vanilla. Lol. I am thinking of making this next fall with some cranberries also , unless you have an orange-cranberry one already ! Linda Onstott Boughton in Wichita Falls Texas
Love the new look! Will definitely try the Orange Bundt Cake, it sounds wonderful. I like cakes without a lot of frosting to have with coffee in the mornings.
Your awesome. Love you good recipes. I enjoy the ones that are quick and easy. I am going to try your orange cake this weekend.
Your the best! Thanks for sharing with us.

hello, I am wanting to make this cake for a potluck event that I am attending this coming Sunday, and I wanted to know if I could bake this in my jelly roll pan, it measures out to be 17by13 inch pan and I wanted to know if I could make this like a sheet cake and if so, could you share with me what the measurements would be on the ingredients?? its my grandmas 104th bday celebration and she loves anything with orange in it:) so please let me know if you can help me out, thank you for all your wonderful recipes , my family is very happy:)
I am sorry I have never made it in a jelly roll pan nor any other pan but a bundt pan. I feel like it would work in a 9 x 13 pan but I just don’t know about a jelly roll pan because the batter is thick and it would be hard to get it to spread over a pan that large. I hope your grandma has a wonderful birthday and I think she would love this cake but that size pan just may not work for this cake. I hope this helps you.
You can either click on the P under each post or where it says “Pin it” under each post. You can also copy the address at the top of the page and pin it directly on your page that way. I have tried it every way with no problems.
AWESOME and EASY cake recipe. The key word being “easy”! Thank you for giving us wonderful recipes to use when we don’t have time for scratch baking! This was amaing.
How rude of the woman who felt a need to tell you about using a mix. Many of us use mixes every day. I am grateful for this recipe, thank you! I will be making this. Have a blessed day.
I do not like package food an if you use a packaged cake mix it is not made from start …sorry can not use this cake at all!!!
There are over 800,000 people on the site. Not every recipe will be suitable for every person and we don’t expect it to be. There are plenty of cake recipes on the site that are not from packaged mixes but we do have working Moms and people that prefer something easy and we try to offer something for everyone. If you are not happy with a recipe we certainly don’t expect you to make it, Linda.
Geez! You are not required to make everything you read. ???
Why on earth did you bother to leave a negative message when you have never made the cake, Linda? A cake mix is a fabulous base from which you can make many, many delicious cakes by adding your own preferred ingredients. You might want to climb down from your high horse and try it sometime. You might even … gasp … like it!
We have a pot luck coming up for church so I will be baking a cake for that. Thanks.
