Monday Munchies: Orange Soak Cake

I have another recipe for you guys, but this one is very simple, which is why I decided to use it for this Monday post, rather than a Saturday Sweetly post.

This is a super moist, delicious recipe Mom found on the back of a brand name box of cake mix. We tried this cake just yesterday, and loved it, so I thought I would share it with
you. These are the ingredients for the cake.
            For the cake

• 1 package Orange Cake Mix
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup oil

Now, to make the cake all you have to do is follow the instructions on the back of the cake mix box. For our brand cake, we used the ingredients above, also shown in the below photo.

So, bake the cake. Once the cake is cooked, allow to cool 5 minutes and then you will need to poke holes in the cake using a chopstick or fork, like this.

You need to top the cake with the glaze while it is warm. Here is what you need for the glaze now:

              For the glaze

• ⅓ cup orange juice
• 2 cups confectioner’s sugar
• 2 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted

Where the ingredients says "orange juice" we thought, "Why pay for a jug of orange juice we don't need, lets just buy a fresh orange!" After being thoroughly squeezed, the orange gave us almost the exact amount we needed. So, to make the glaze, start by melting the butter in a microwavable bowl. Then, add the butter and orange juice to the powdered sugar and whisk that all together until it looks something like this.

Now the glaze is ready to be poured over the cake. Make sure not to wait too long to pour it, as the glaze starts to harden.

And there you go! Once the cake is covered in glaze, allow it to cool completely.  Store loosely covered.
