Just pulled it out of the oven.....had to sneak a piece to try, burning myself in the process. Very nice orange flavor,with a texture similar to a spice cake (if that makes sense). I made an orange glaze and dumped it right on fresh out of the oven. I agree with some of the other reviews I read-this would be a great coffee or tea time cake. I will probably make this again in the future.

I followed the recipe, but the cake is bland. I know this is a "simple" cake, but it needs something to jazz it up. Perhaps, an orange or a cream cheese frosting...something. Very disappointing - I will not be making this one again.

This cake turned out great for me. I made it exactly as directed and baked it for 40 minutes. It was very light and fluffy. I will definitely make this again. Try it with vanilla frosting..yum.

This cake is good, but not great. It is VERY sweet and a little plain. My boyfriend and I both thought it would go well with a fruit compote if the cake itself was less sweet. One nice thing about the cake is that the texture actually improved the next day.

This cake was lovely. Very moist with a lovely flavour. I halve the recipe and cooked in a 8" x 8" pan for 35 mins and the results were fantastic!

Loved this little cake. Plain, simple and great flavor. I halved the recipe and baked in an 8" pan, and sprinkled lightly when finished with cinnamon/sugar.

I am not a big fan of honey cake but for some reason I was craving some but I wanted to keep it a healhty as possible. I found this recipe and modified it a bit and found it to be incredibly moist and delicious. I halved the recipe because I didn't want too much and put it in my loaf pan. I used 1/4 cup applesauce and 1/4 coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. I used 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 stevia and I didn' have any orange zest. I also used organic raw honey and organic orange juice. Everything else was the same. This was easy and fast and very delicious. I can't wait to have some with a cup of tea tonight. Perfect for afternoon guests too.

This cake was a disappointment. While it did have good orange flavor, it was very dense and almost a chewy consistency. It got worse by the second day. I'm guessing it's the honey in it.
