This was just delicious. I think next time I'll add more orange zest, but aside from that this was yummy. The brown sugar, nut and graham cracker mixture would be good wih any flavor cake.. chocolate, lemon, spice..

WOW So Good!!! I made this for my husbands birthday and he actually said it was the best cake he had ever had. Bake in 13 x 9 pan though mine cracked while in the fridge but it did not matter because it was so delicious.

This was a great cake! I heard a lot of rave reviews from my coworkers. I didn't use the frosting provided with this recipe, but I did everything else as stated. Perfect for summer.

I have been using it since 1984. Fair is Fair. Give the proper people credit for it. It is a recipe from Pillsbury which appeared in a magazine in 1984. I still have the original cut out from the magazine and it is well worn from many years of use. It is a great recipe from Pillsbury.

Delicious! The crunch layer really does make this cake! I did use prepared frosting, even though some reviewers didn't like it, and I thought it still tasted great. I used lime zest in the frosting because I didn't have any lemons. This one is definately a keeper!

This was hit at easter! I put the crunch layer in the middle only. I didn't have the correct ingredients for the frosting so I just added some orange juice and orange zest to some vanilla frosting - turned out great!

This cake is great with Sour Cream Frosting (also a 5 star) I prefer to leave the crunch side down. Either way, it's a fabulous cake. Enjoy!

The cake and the crunch layers of this cake are delicious and I will make this recipe again. However, I think I will do something different for the icing. The use of canned icing and whipped topping results in something very artificial and waxy tasting to me. I think a whipped cream cheese frosting with the citrus zest would probably be good. Also, I made this in a 9x13 pan instead of layers, turning it out to cool on a wire rack after 15 minutes cooling in the pan and then putting it back in the 9x13 with the crunch layer on top after it was completely cooled. Very tasty and the crunchy nut layer is a prize-winner!

Not sure where she got the recipe, but mama makes this cake and it's amaaaazing. I don't consider "Fruity desserts" as true DESSERT... to me, it has to be CHOCOLATE!!! So I enjoy this cake anytime, for any reason, for any meal, and think it tastes best cold... but I'm a cold-cake kind of girl. Enjoy it!

This cake is absolutely delish. Took cake to office for a party and had a client seek me out to tell me it was the best cake he had ever eaten.

Big hit here! The crunch layer in this cake really makes it special. My only recommendation is to make this in a 13 X 9 pan rather than 2 layer cakes. I probably rushed the cooling, but the top layer cracked so it wasn't as pretty as it should have been - but the taste is fantastic.

This has to be one of the best cake recipes I've ever made! Don't change a thing! I couldn't even see the orange and lemon zest in the frosting and leaving it out would be disappointing. The "crunch" part stays crunchy for at least two days...this cake has never lasted any longer than that in our house, thanks!
