For an extra burst of citrus, consider adding a teaspoon of orange zest to the cake batter. If you prefer a less sweet frosting, you can reduce the amount of instant pudding mix. The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To prevent the cake from sticking, ensure the pan is thoroughly greased and floured. Alternatively, use baking spray with flour.
