Orange Glow Bundt Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (18 1/4 ounce) box yellow cake mix
    1 1/3 cups water
    1/3 cup vegetable oil
    3 large eggs
    1 tablespoon grated orange zest
    1 cup orange juice
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
    1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter 12 cup bundt pan.
    Prepare cake:
    With an electric mixer beat the cake mix with the water, oil and eggs, adding the orange zest to batter. Pour into prepared pan and bake 35-45 minutes or until tooth pick inserted in center comes out clean.
    Meanwhile, make syrup:
    Heat orange juice, sugar and Tabasco sauce in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce heat; simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and reserve 1/4 cup of this syrup for glaze.
    Remove cake from oven. With a wooden skewer, poke holes in cake in several places, without removing it from pan. Spoon the syrup evenly over cake. Cool cake in pan 10 minutes.
    Carefully invert cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
    Combine reserved syrup and confectioner's sugar in a small bowl until smooth. Place cake on a platter and spoon glaze over cake to decorate. Garnish with orange peel curls, if desired.
