The cake had a fruitloop taste to it. Was not worth the $15 it cost to make. Less than a quarter of it was ate and the rest was tossed.

Very much enjoyed this untraditional cake. WOW! I wondered what to do with those orange slices - now I know!

My mom used to make this when I was a kid. She has been gone almost 2 years now and I was thinking back to the old days and remembered this cake and just for kicks typed it into the search box. Imagine my surprise to find the recipe!!! My kids and I are off to the store to get the stuff and make one right now!

I was VERY leery to make this cake, but my girlfriend insisted it was delicious. She was right!!! My teen-aged daughter, who hates coconut, would not stop eating it and my husband, who eats mostly healthy things, said he has become addicted to this cake. Personally, my daughter and I thought it was best still slightly warm. (But we still loved it days later.) My husband felt it improved with age. No matter what the cost (it wasn't cheap to make) I will be making this cake again and again.

I lost this recipe or close to it (called orange fuit cake) years ago. I was thrilled to find it. This is SO good and everyone loves it. People who say they hate fruit cake are always suprised and delighted with it. Thanks Carol

This has to be one of my alltime favorite holiday recipes. My mother used to make this every Christmas but due to arthritis she can't mix it up so I now make it, no problems with the kitchenaid mixer. As for the cake being expensive the only thing I find pricey is the nuts but I have always used walnuts which are cheaper and in my opinion much better than pecans in this cake. I also substitute dried pineapple & raisins for the dates (half pound of each). One last tip: dip your knife in flour as you cut up the orange slice candy, it makes it much easier.

I am so glad that I came across this recipe. My granny used to make this when I was a kid and it was my favorite! She never used the coconut in it, but I love coconut, so it is a win-win for me! Thanks for the memories with this recipe!

Fairly expensive to make and very labor intensive. A lot like a fruit cake..which some people will not even try. All in all a good recipe. Make sure you cook it the entire recomended time and do not keep opening the door to check it! It is low heat and will be ok!!!!

This is a recipe my grandmom used to make and I have the recipe the only difference is that when you do the oj mixture you put it on let it cool and then wrap in foil for a week and set if fridge. then bring it back out and do the oj mixture again you might have to use toothpick or something like that for mixture to go into cake. everytime you eat it when through wrap in foil and put in fridge.

This has become a family tradition--and is now requested by our friends as well. It's actually not that labor intensive (unless you're a box mix person)-- just a few more ingredients than normal. Snip the candies with scissors and purchase chopped dates to cut down on prep time. (BTW: Don't even try to make it in a bundt pan--not big enough) Wrap in with plastic, then foil. Place in the refrigerator and turn twice a day for the first couple days. It helps to distribute the orange juice more evenly through the cake.

When I was a little girl, my grandmother would make this cake for my birthday. She has since died and we've misplaced her recipe. This is the closest I've found. One difference that may help is that instead of an orange juice glaze, she soaked paper towels in juice and wrapped the cake completely with the towels. The juice soaks in to the cake! No sticky mess and less sweet. GREAT!!!

The cake was good, but I had problems getting the cake out of the pan the next morning. I finally heated the pan for a few minutes in the oven.

Excellent! Fun to make. Followed recipe to a T and it turned out perfectly. A bit on the rich side so you only need a small slice, but sooo delicious. Also, quite sweet. Next time I'd cut the sugar by l/2 to 3/4 of a cup. Otherwise, wonderfully tasty. Ingredients are a bit pricey, but worth it. If you don't like cakes with dried fruits, but want a festive cake, this is definitely the one.
