Thank goodness I read the reviews! A bundt cake that only serves SIX! How can that be? I'm a baker's daughter and have never seen a bundt cake that serves six. Delicious as this recipe may be, it certainly needs a cautious reading.

I absolutely LOVED this bread!! first time I baked it and it turned out DELICIOUS!!! I did the glaze differently, I used half an orange w 1/2 cup conf. sugar n brushed the glaze on the bread, I used a butterfly bundt pan. I was thinking of poking holes on the bread & pouring the glaze & then brush the glaze on it..but since Im not much of a risk taker w my breads, I just glazed it...but next time I'll poke holes n pour the glaze so it could have more of an orange flavor... I do recommend this recipe, it is a KEEPER!! Thanks for the RECIPE!! =)

This was the best! I was amazed at how delicious and flavorful it was. I didn't have lemon extract, so used orange. I also didn't have whole eggs, so used two eggs' worth of my husband's carton of egg whites. As others recommended, I also used more orange juice than the recipe called for in the glaze to make it drizzle. Needless to say, this cake didn't last long because it was so good! I was glad it only served six, otherwise I would've ate more than I did.

Loved it. I doubled the recipe and used a regular cake pan. However, I think it needs a little more citrusy taste... I used 2 different glazes... First, I used a bit of butter mixed with Tia Maria (I wanted to use brandy but didn't have any on hand) and orange juice and sugar. It's a bit watery, but it soaks into the cake and makes it taste amazing. Then, on top of that, I mixed confectioners sugar with a little bit of the first glaze to give it more of an icing constistency, and poured that over the whole thing. It was a huuuuge hit with my fiance's family.

I made this recipe for a baby shower gathering. I borrowed a friend's bundt pan, which is a standard size. It didn't even occur to me the recipe was to serve 6. (What cake ony serves 6?)The cake mix barely filled the pan. It was the tiniest cake ever. I followed the directions exactly on the cake, but my mother needed to alter the glaze by thining it down. She thought it was too thick to drizzle. All in all it turned out nice, but I was still surprised how little the recipe made. I had to back it up with 2 other desserts.

I followed the instructions exactly and the cake was perfect.My son said he thought it was too sweet but that was due to the glaze, not the cake itself, because I hadn't made the glaze properly. My egyptian inlaws (who are excellent cooks) loved it. The best recipe I've had for a long time,thanks Melissa

This turned out really good. The almond scent is stronger than the taste of almond. I only didn't give it 5 because I wanted a more orange taste, and was hoping the grated rind would provide that. My test subjects (co-workers) liked it alot and said not to change anything. I'm sure it's just personal taste.
