Triple Orange Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 box (approx. 15.25 oz) lemon cake mix 🍰
- 1 box (approx. 3 oz) orange-flavored gelatin (jello) 🍊
- 2/3 cup canola oil
- 3/4 cup water 💧
- 4 large eggs 🥚
- 1/3 cup fresh orange juice 🍹
- 1 1/2 cups icing sugar (powdered sugar) 🍬
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). |
| 2 | Grease a 9 x 13-inch cake pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray; set aside. |
| 3 | In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, orange gelatin, canola oil, water, and eggs. 🥣 |
| 4 | Using an electric mixer set to medium speed, beat the ingredients until well combined and smooth. 🌀 |
| 5 | Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly. |
| 6 | Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the top of the cake springs back when lightly touched in the center. 🕒 |
| 7 | Leave the cake in the pan and use a fork to pierce the entire surface. This allows the orange glaze to soak in and infuse the cake with flavor. |
| 8 | In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh orange juice and icing sugar until you have a smooth glaze. 🍊 |
| 9 | Spoon the orange glaze evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to seep into the pierced holes and create a deliciously moist texture. |
| 10 | Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy the burst of citrus flavor with every bite! 🍰🍊 |
