Ingredients

• For the Cake:
• 1 box orange cake mix
• 1 box vanilla pudding mix (instant)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed or store-bought)
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• For the Whipped Topping:
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1 tsp orange zest (optional, but highly recommended)

Preparation Method

Prepare the Cake Batter:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine the orange cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, orange juice, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool the Cake:
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Make the Whipped Topping:
In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

Assemble the Cake:
Once cooled, spread the whipped cream evenly over the top. Sprinkle with orange zest for an extra pop of flavor.

Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to enhance flavors and make slicing easier.
