ORANGE CAKE

Did you buy a lot of oranges for Christmas and have got tired of eating them. Then try this orange cake recipe and use up some of them for the juice it calls for and for the zest. Never have used zest before. Just take a orange and wash good and then take a grader with the small holes and run your orange up and down it. It may take two oranges or more to get the zest this recipe calls for. Just don't go down to the white part of the orange as it will make it bitter. Do it lightly.

1 (18 oz) Box Yellow Cake Mix
1 (3 oz) Box Instant Lemon Pudding Mix
3/4 Cup Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice 
1/2Cup Canola Oil
4 Eggs
1 Teaspoon Orange Zest
1 Teaspoon Lemon Zest

Spray and flour a 10 inch bundt pan. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.In a medium bowl combine cake mix, pudding mix, orange juice, oil, eggs and citrus zests. Beat on low until blended. Scrape bowl,and beat on medium speed for 4 minutes. Pour into prepared bundt pan. Bake 50-60 minutes (until set.) Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes. Turn out onto cake plate and cool completely.

Glaze:

1/3 Cup Orange Juice
2/3 Cup Sugar
1/4 Cup Butter or Marg.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the orange juice, sugar and butter or marg. for two minutes. Drizzle over cooled cake. Serve cake with fresh whipped cream and canned peaches.
