I've been baking cakes succesfully...from sratch...for almost 40 years, and this one was a big disappointment. I noticed that the amount of oil in proportion to the flour it called for was far too much... almost as much oil as there was flour.... and it was so sweet. It tasted eggy and like the vegetable oil I used; I couldn't taste the orange juice at all, which I squeezed by hand!. My cake developed a brown, hard, crusty rectangle in the middle of the cake that looked awful, it didn't dome, and the sides were crusty and stuck to the pan. Maybe by increasing the flour, or decreasing the sugar and oil would help, but I'm not going to take the chance of wasting good ingredients again.
