How to Make Triple Orange Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine: 1 box (15.25 oz) orange cake mix, 1 (3 oz) package orange gelatin, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 4 large eggs, and 1 cup orange juice.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, until batter is smooth.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup orange juice and 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth. Add more powdered sugar if needed to reach desired consistency.
  8. Once the cake is completely cool, pour the glaze evenly over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
