Orange Olive Oil Cake With Turmeric Glaze

Looking for an elegant dessert with few ingredients and minimal prep required? You’ve come to the right place, because this dead simple orange olive oil cake couldn’t be easier. We use classic vanilla box cake mix for this recipe, but imbue it with the bold flavors of olive oil, orange, and turmeric. You can iterate on this recipe by using different types of citrus in place of the orange. Grapefruit or pomelo would taste especially good. Note: our preferred brand of cake mix is Betty Crocker
