Chef Booshman's Note:

Bundt cakes are super easy to make. Made this recipe up myself. I used the same ratios of wet to dry ingredients from "Death by Chocolate" recipe. Worked also well with Blueberry, Lemon, and Raspberry variations. Will post those separately if anybody wants them.

Wonderful cake! I was given a lot of naval oranges by a neighbor and decided to try this recipe to use some. It was so good. I omitted the coloring, the cake was a lovely color without the food coloring. I put 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup butter in the bottom of the bundt pan and poured the batter on top. It made a nice finish to the cake when inverted. Thanks, Carole in Orlando

This was wonderful! I will definately be making this again. I also put a simple orange glaze on top and served with a scoop of vanilla icecream or whip cream. Love it!

Excellent! My family loves this cake. Super moist and super fast. I skip the food coloring, and sometimes use a yellow cake mix. I make a orange glaze as mentioned in another review for the top.
