I also by trade am a baker and by that, I know what I am getting into when I get random recipes online. This was a pleasant surprise. It is not something I would frost up or decorate, but maybe leave in the pan, or make two with a think frosting center and no outer frosting. The taste is very unique and super moist. The crispy edges taste amazing. Expect something different and you will love it!

I did not like this cake at all. I followed the instructions and should have listened the reviews. The cake was very dense..not light at all and had a crust on the top.

ok, there's a good chance this was my fault. I tried to use the recipe for cupcakes, and they completely collapsed. they didn't taste terrible (a little eggy, as others have said) but i liked the citrus tones.... it may have been my oven, which is old and shady : (

Not a bad recipe. It was a little eggy with three eggs, I am glad I didnt use four as the recipe called for. It is a basic cake I will definatly make again. I didn't find the orange juice to be strong , it was a nice flavor. topped with white frosting and fresh blueberries made a nice refreshing dessert.

If you expect this to turn out like a store bought boxed cake mix you will be disappointed. If you are looking for something slightly unusual and distinctive, you will be satisfied. I ony used 3 eggs and omitted the OJ. It tastes almost like sugar cookies and yes, it does have a crispy "crust" but that just adds to the uniqueness of this cake. YUMMY!

FABULOUS cake - disappearing fast. This cake even tastes great with no additions of frosting, etc.

It broke apart, but I think that was my fault. Otherwise it was quite good. It did smell a little eggy as it was baking but it didn't taste that way. I separated the layers with apricot jam -- yum. The orange didn't come through as much as I would have liked, so next time I might omit one of the eggs.

Very good - moist, sticky and "citrus-y." I selected this recipe because I was very low on milk, and this recipe doesn't call for any. But it is different. I have not tried baking this in round pans and decorating with the usual frosting. Instead, I bake this in a 9x13 casserole and add a thin glaze made from powdered sugar, milk and a little orange extract.

This cake is delicious! It's moist without being to heavy. The only thing I changed was the amount of orange juice. I'm not a huge fan of it, so I reduced it to 1/2 cup. Today, I made this for the 4th time, and it always comes out tasty!
