Grecian Orange Cake

This is known around these parts as "The Abrams' Signature Cake." Or maybe not. I probably just made that up. :) Anyway, I got this recipe from my mom, and this is something we have made ever since we were first married. Alan even won 2nd place in a men's bake-off using this recipe! The only reason he didn't win first was because a bunch of kids screamed and shouted for the dirt-cup cake that wasn't actually baked, so it should have been disqualified. Anyway, I digress... Here is our most-requested dessert!

Grecian Orange Cake
1 box yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1 pkg instant lemon pudding
¾ cup oil, scant
¾ cup water

Place all ingredients in mixer. Turn mixer on low and beat for 2 minutes, scraping sides of bowl constantly. Pour into greased and floured tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes.

Icing:
Combine 2 cups sifted confectioner’s sugar, 1/3 cup plus 2 tbsp frozen concentrate of orange juice, and 2 tbsp melted butter. Punch holes in cake with ice pick and pour icing over hot cake. Let stand in tube pan until cool.
