Orange Poke Cake with Honey-Orange Glaze Recipe

Print Recipe

A light and fluffy orange-flavored cake infused with a sweet honey-orange glaze, perfect for citrus lovers.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 box orange cake mix
  • 1 cup orange juice (divided)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp orange zest
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, 3/4 cup orange juice, oil, and eggs. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
  3. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by combining the remaining 1/4 cup orange juice, honey, orange zest, salt, and vanilla in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until well combined and heated through (do not boil).
  5. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and use a skewer or fork to poke holes all over the surface of the cake.
  6. Slowly pour the warm glaze over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
  7. Let the cake cool completely before serving. Optionally, top with whipped cream or orange slices.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use freshly squeezed orange juice.
  • This cake is best served chilled or at room temperature.
  • You can add a layer of whipped topping or cream cheese frosting for extra indulgence.
