Ingredients
Cake
  • ½ c. + 2 Tb. calamondin puree (about 40-50 pieces)
  • 1 package white cake mix
  • 1 3-oz. package orange jello
  • ⅓ c. milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¾ c. vegetable oil
  • 1 Tb. lemon juice
Glaze
  • 2 Tb. calamondin puree
  • zest of 1 orange
  • 8 Tb. fresh orange juice
  • 2 c. powdered sugar
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Grease and flour (or use cooking spray) a large bundt pan (10” X 4” X1/2”), OR 2 single rounds, OR or 12 mini Bundt pans or muffin tins.
  3. Slice and seed calamondins then place in a food processor and pulse several times until you have a fine puree. Set aside.
  4. Combine cake mix and (dry) jello in a large bowl.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine milk, oil, eggs and lemon juice, and ½ c. of the puree. Whisk to combine then add to dry ingredients and stir well to combine.
  6. Pour batter into prepared baking dish(es).
  7. Bake for about 40 minutes for large bundt or round pans. If using mini bundt pans or muffin tins, bake for about 20-25 minutes - check regularly to ensure they don’t overcook. Remove when a cake tester comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool slightly while making the glaze. After the cake(s) have cooled but are still slightly warm, remove from the baking dish(es) onto a serving platter. Spoon the glaze over the warm cake(s).
Notes
This recipe makes one large Bundt cake OR 12 mini Bundt cakes or standard muffins.
