### Orange Box Cake
#### Ingredients:
– 1 box of orange cake mix
– 1 cup of fresh orange juice
– 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
– 3 eggs
– Zest of 1 orange
– 1 cup of powdered sugar
– 2 tablespoons of fresh orange juice
#### Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a round cake pan by greasing and lightly flouring it to prevent sticking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the orange cake mix, fresh orange juice, vegetable oil, eggs, and orange zest. Beat the mixture using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and well combined.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure even baking.
4. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. While the cake is baking, prepare the orange glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of fresh orange juice until smooth and no lumps remain.
6. Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
7. Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the orange glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides for a beautiful finish.
9. Slice and serve your Orange Box Cake to enjoy a burst of citrus flavor in every bite!
