A HUGE HIT! This cake was moist and yummy. My mom used to make one similar when I was younger and I haven't had it in years. Since her recipe went missing - I decided to make this one for a party and was very pleased.

I just finished my first piece of cake. WOW!!! Just like I remembered from years ago. I did search for a Orange Cake mix. If you go to Duncan Hines web site, customer service will locate you the stores in your area that sell it. Well worth the effort!!!

I'd give this recipe 100 stars if I could. I DARE you to just eat one piece. My granny made this all the time and I came here looking for the recipe. WOW, there are not words to express how absolutely delish this cake is. I also made it as a "Lemon Poppyseed" cake; use Lemon Supreme cake mix, instant lemon pudding, and 1/2 C lemon juice and 1/2 cup water in place of the alcohol. Mix in a few table spoons of poppyseeds and make the glaze out of lemon juice, grated lemon peel and confectioners sugar. This cake ROCKS like you can't imagine. A real crowd pleaser. And as one other reviewer suggested, bake on 325 degrees for about 55 minutes and it turns out lighter and fluffier.

I prefer the rum cake recipe on this site..but this one was still good. I doubled the glaze though for an extra soaked cake.

This recipe is one that my grandmother and mother have made every Christmas. I'd skipped a few years but just made one and added slices of it to gift bags. It received rave reviews, one neighbor saying it should be 'illegal'. My recipe calls for orange cake mix, and I use French Vanilla pudding. It also calls for 3/4 c. orange juice and 'heaping' 1/4 c each Galliano and Vodka. Because I use a coated pan and my oven tends to be 'fast', I find this cake comes out lighter, fluffier and moister baked at 325 for 45 mins.

I have taken this cake to more than 5 parties over the past year. Each time I am asked for the recipe b/c it is so good. The plate leaves the party empty everytime. A real crowd pleaser!

I wasn't sure what a tube pan was. I guess a bundt? Anyway, I made this cake for my sisters 21st birthday and it was incredible!

WOW, what a wonderful cake.. I made this for the 1st time about 2 months ago, then made it again, this past weekend, and my guest are still raving over it. It was a HUGE hit at our dinner party. A friend of mine has asked me to make this cake for her for her Christmas present. So I am making it again.

Yum! A great recipe. I opted to not add the glaze to make it less alcoholic, and because my grandmother's recipe I'm familiar didn't have a glaze (probably for the alcohol reason). Because I dropped that part of the recipe, I'm grading with a handicap, but it was still very, very good. Soft and moist, and very easy. A lovely after-dinner cake.

I baked this cake months ago for a birthday. Everyone loved it! I had to look up the recipe because I received a special request to bake it again for another birthday. This time it's going in the favorites box!!!

I read the previous reviews, and agree that although this is good, it is different from my mom's recipe that we enjoyed over forty years ago. I believe that the pudding called for back then was pistachio pudding. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.

This is a great cake for an adult party! Try using an Orange Cake Mix, it really adds alittle more flavor. I also like to add a touch of Orange Zest to the Glaze. Enjoy!!!

So moist and full of flavor but I do have some suggestions. If you can find one, use an orange cake mix. Also, fluid ounces confuse me (are they the same as ounces?) so I used 1/2 cup galliano and 2 tablespoons of vodka in the cake. In the glaze, I did 1 tablespoon of oj, 1 of galliano and 1 teaspoon of vodka. When you're baking you already have the teaspoons out so it's much easier. Also, I do recommend adding the vodka because it gave something to the cake. You know how sometimes you sip a really good cocktail and the alcohol warms you? That's what happened when I took a bite. Wonderful. I highly recommend the cake with the changes I made. Also, for those who would like to try to make the drink, a bartender told me-take a juice glass (tall or short) and fill with ice. Add a shot of vodka, half a shot of galliano and fill to top with orange juice. Stir. You'll find it tastes just like the cake!

I used orange vodka and was a bit heavy handed on that and the Galiano. I also put the excess glaze into the middle of the bundt cake and let it sit over night. The bottom of the cake absorbed most of the extra glaze and it was awesome!
