Fantastic!! Moist and flavorful. I followed the recipe exactly and then decided to add a glaze to the top. I mixed 1/4 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp butter flavoring, poked holes in the cake and drizzled it over the top. It was SO GOOD!!

I add a tsp. of almond extract to the batter, and I glaze the cake with a quick powdered sugar glaze, then press sliced almonds all over the cake. The combination of orange and almond flavors are soooooo good.

Wow, this is good, moist cake! I used canola oil, instead of veg. oil. I made a glaze for the top, o.j. and conf. sugar. Kids said "Best cake ever!". There you have it!

This cake is fabulous. I tweaked it a little. I used 1/2 cup orange liquor or rum and 1/4 cup orange juice, added 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Everyone raved over it.

This is the best! I have made other poppy cakes on this site, but the sour cream and orange juice in this one (and I sneaked in 1 t. almond extract)make this delicious! I glazed it with some oj, powdered sugar, and almond extract. Melt in your mouth! I will make again. Mine only took 35 minutes to bake.

I took this to work, for a bake sale, and came away with an empty plate. Everyone loved it, and commented on how moist it was. I tinkered with the recipe a tad, adding the fresh zest of one orange to the batter. Also, going on some of the other reviews, I made a simple glaze of powdered sugar and orange juice, with a little orange zest added in, and drizzled that over the cake. Yum!!
