Florida Orange Cake

Submitted by CoffeeB

"This recipe came from a Taste of Home magazine. So, you know you can't go wrong. Plus simple ingredients for a quick dessert, and oh so moist. I do as cupcakes also.-- Worth noting, using an orange cake mix will definitely make this cake more orangey in taste, but if not available, use yellow."

We used Dunkin Hines for the cake mix. While this cake is still moist, it does have a crumbly texture (we're guessing due to the OJ, which we used Tropicana brand). We also did not taste much of an orange flavor in the cake. The icing is worth mentioning as it has a wonderful taste and smooth creamy texture. I added a Tbsp of OJ to the icing and only 2 cups confectioners sugar to reach our desired sweetness.

Yummy recipe :) And like you mention it turned out very moist! I made these into cupcakes and while everyone enjoyed them, they were surprised to hear that they were supposed to be orange flavored. For some reason the orange taste did not come through on these cupcakes at all. That being said, it is still a good recipe and I will be making them again!
