As usual, I was looking for a cake I could make with the ingrediants I had on hand. I only had two eggs, but gave it a shot anyway. It turned out awesome, and I don't know why some people are having such bad luck. It does have a citrus-y flavor, but anything will if you put OJ in it! Cooked for 30 mins. in a 9x13 pan.

Let me start by saying that by trade, I am a baker and cake decorator so I did not goof up this recipe. I am searching for a homemade recipe for my cakes because I tired of all of the unpronounceable chemicals that are in commercial products these days. First off, it did not dome while baking, and as I was removing it from the oven, there was a strong odor of egg coming from it. I let it cool for 20 minutes then taste tested it, egg and orange juice was the dominate flavors. I waited another 40 minutes and tasted it again in a cooled state and the flavor was the same eggy/oj flavors as before. I did not find it to overly sweet, but that maybe because I was overwhelmed by the other two negatively dominate flavors. Usually, I try to salvage test foods, but this one ended up in the compost - there was no saving it. To it's credit, this recipe produces a moist cake.

Although I read all the reviews I decided NOT to add the flour that it seemed liked it needed and just decided to go with the recipe as it was written. It was great!! This was a very moist, sticky yellow cake with some orange zest. It was great as is. It looks a little funny baking... the middle gets done quicker but it is great as is.. wait it out! :)

Fantastic, this is absolutely delicious. I only had 3 eggs so the cake is a kinda crumbly around the edges. I also ran out of oil so the measuring cup was just one level (I'm guessing 1/8c less) below 1c. Also I used 1c o.j. (to make up for the other deficiencies) I'll definitely make this again.

I used this recipe to make a pineapple upside-down cake, so I replaced the orange juice with pineapple juice. It turned out fairly bland even with the added pineapple and brown sugar topping. I think I'll keep looking for a good yellow cake recipe.

Was looking for a yellow cake recipe because all I had was chocolate cake mix in my pantry. This is a keeper. A moist tasty sponge that took little longer to prepare than cake mix. I followed other reviewers that reduced the oil to 2/3 c, sugar to 1-1/2 c and orange juice to 1/2 c (thanks). I made 2 dozen cupcakes -- baked them in 2 batches for 25 mins each time. Next time I'll put them in for 20 mins as the tops are not very soft when they cool if they're too brown. I melted 1 cup of white chocolate chips with 1 tsp of shortening in the microwave and when cooled, spooned this in a ziplock bag, cut a little hole in it and drizzled this over the cupcakes. This was not only easier then making frosting, but emphasized the tastiness of the cake.

my cake stuck to the pan so i would reccomend that you butter and flour the pan before you pour in the cake batter. it was a little oily for my taste but it was incredibly moist although it was not the yellow color that i was looking for it turned out very dark but i think that was because of the orange juice. it tasted great but i thought the orange was to subtle, next time i'll use a regular yellow cake recipe with orange extract. not very impressed since the cakes fell in the middle too.

I used this cake with pineapple upside down cake V instead of the box cake it calls for. I used 1.5 cups of sugar and 3/4 cup pineapple juice. I baked it in two 9in pans for about 30 minutes. It is VERY moist, sweet- very tasty. I made it for my husband's birthday and he liked it a lot.

This cake was good, but it seems to have too much oil in the recipe. I would make it again; next time I'll change the oil to 2/3 cup and also reduce the amount of orange juice a little (maybe only 1/3 cup). Also, it only took 35 minutes!

This is an easy recipe for bake-from-scratch cake. The flavor was good and it was moist. I thought it called for too much sugar though so I cut it down by 1/4 cup and it still tasted pretty sweet. Will try it with just 1-1/2 cups next time. Overall it's a good and simple recipe.

Super easy & fairly quick to make. Baking time was only 33 minutes, so that wasn't bad :) Very tasty, though a slight orange taste. I can't wait to frost it w/chocolate!
