Grandma Sadie's Orange Juice Cake
This is Kristi's grandma Sadie's recipe. Christmas in Florida is often warm, so a cool, citrusy cake straight from the fridge is the most refreshing treat on the holiday table.
Makes one 13 x 9 cake · Chill overnight
Cake
- 1 box (16.5 oz.) lemon supreme cake mix (or yellow cake mix)
- 1 box (3 oz.) lemon gelatin, not pudding (or orange gelatin)
- 4 eggs
- ¾ cup vegetable or canola oil
- ¾ cup water
Glaze
- Juice of 2 oranges
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Mix all the cake ingredients together and pour into a 13 x 9 pan sprayed with cooking spray, or buttered and floured. Bake 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the glaze ingredients together.
- After 35 minutes, pull the cake out of the oven and poke holes all over the top (wooden skewers work great). Pour the glaze over the cake.
- Bake another 5 minutes. If the cake doesn't look glazed, put it back in the oven for a few more minutes.
- Let the cake cool, then cover the pan with plastic wrap and chill overnight. Serve chilled.
