Not very exciting, and the orange flavor that I hoped for didn't come through at all.

This was a hit for our Rosh Hoshanna dinner. The only think I changed was the omitting the oil and substituting applesauce for it. It is a family favorite now. My mother in law hadn't had it since her mother last made it many, many years ago and this brought back all those yummy memories. Thank you for sharing!

I followed the recipe as directed except I omitted the orange zest (I had no fresh orange on hand). The cake collapsed in the middle during baking (I baked for 40 minutes at 350 but had to cover the top the last ten minutes so it wouldn't get too brown). The cake was moist and definitely not too sweet. You can taste the honey, but it's not overpowering. I do think the orange zest is an important component, since the cake lacked taste without it; it was just a tad too bland for my taste, but it was very easy and quick to make.

I made this for my class of 18 5-7 year old, with leftover cranberry-apple zinger tea instead of orange juice, and it was great! Made it with half whole wheat and half whole spelt flour, as well as olive oil instead of butter, and all honey because we were out of sugar. My lead teacher was quite impressed with it!

I made the recipe exactly as given and it worked perfectly! This is a yummy cake that, in texture, is sort of a cross between a coffee cake and a tea bread. The edges get a little chewy like brownies. Mmmmm...
