A little of this a little of that and you have a honey of a bundt cake! This is one of my most asked for recipes. It is a cake that can be made in advance and refrigerated until the party begins. It takes a few ingredients from your pantry and an orange. You will love this comfort cake especially this spring, with resources limited and we are all craving a bite or two of something sweet.
It had a hint of honey and orange, and the fragrance made my kitchen smell like my favorite Tea & Honey candle. Oh my gosh I was in heaven. It only took about an hour to make and because it isn't too sweet, it would be a perfect cake for a brunch too. Again the secret to this cake is the pudding in the mix and the Honey Orange Glaze that is brushed over the cake. This extra hint of flavor sends it over the edge.
To make this cake you will need....
Nothing But Honey Bundt Cake
One Yellow Cake Mix
One Small Package of Vanilla Pudding
3 Eggs
1/3 Cup of Vegetable Oil
1 Cup of Water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixer add the cake mix and pudding packet.
Add eggs, oil, water, vanilla, and sour cream. Mix together. Zest the rind of the orange and add to the batter. Squeeze the juice of the orange into the batter and mix together. Add honey.
Pour batter into a greased and floured bundt pan and bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Tip over and tap the bottom to release the cake. Let cool while you make the glaze.
