This is a slightly altered version of a recipe I got directly off of the Betty Crocker Cake Mix box. It can be made with other brand cake mixes, but the water, oil and egg amounts need to be altered to suit whatever cake mix you are using. This is a quick, easy and quite pretty cake. Great for taking to pot lucks, just remember if you put the glaze on it to keep it cool.

This cake is delicious and moist! It was made as per the directions. I did add a tablespoon of grated orange zest for additional orange flavor. I used the chocolate frosting and since this was a bundt cake, I put 1/2 the frosting in the microwave for a few seconds then drizzled the cake with the warmed frosting. My guests did not believe it was a cake mix cake.
