Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an angel food cake pan or a bundt pan. Both will work. Regina used an angel food pan for this recipe.
Combine all cake ingredients (Do not follow directions on the box, use only the ingredients listed above) and mix for 5 minutes on medium speed with either a hand mixer or stand mixer. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake for about 45 minutes. Once done, let cool for about 15 to 20 minutes, take a butter knife and go gently go around edges to loosen the cake. Invert pan to remove cake.
Combine glaze ingredients if using and pour over the cake while still warm. Let set up for about 10 minutes. Place on a platter or round plate and cut into slices. Should give you about 10 to 12 slices. Enjoy!
