I've tried 4 orange cake recipes, and this one is definatly the best so far. I'm only giving 4 stars because i didn't drop dead (i rarely give 5 stars) but it is very good. I made orange glaze and decorated with mandaring oranges. maybe try w/ some orange zest.

    I don't like everything orange flavored but this cake is perfect. I made in a bundt pan and after it had cooled some poked with a meat fork and poured the glaze on. After almost all of the glaze was absorbed I turned it out of the pan. The result — a beautifully glazed moist cake. I'm making another for a wedding reception in a few weeks & I'll try to remember to take a few pictures.

    What a nice change from chocolate! Seems like we always make chocolate! This cake was so easy to make. It has a very refreshing orange flavor. I made it in a bundt pan and drizzled the frosting over, it was beautiful. Only problem I had was keeping my husband out of it!! Thanks for another winner, Lennie!

    Now this is what we in the South call a hum-dinger. The cake was awesome and perfect for our Halloween party. Thankfully, I was able to find the orange cake mix without any trouble. Beautiful color and very, very moist. Thanks so much for a totally yummy dessert.
