Orange Cake

anyone who loves orange will love this cake, I baked mine in an 11 x 9-inch pan and that worked just right, I may reduce the zest to only one orange next time, served with whipped cream for a wonderful treat, thanks for sharing Sharon!

The cake was not overly dense; it was light yet still incredibly soft and tender. I pureed some orange flesh, pushed it through a sieve (to make enough juice for the cake batter and glaze) and stirred the reserved pulp into the batter. I also doubled the orange zest. Thanks very much for sharing this recipe! It is worth the extra effort.

"If you love orange", this the perfect cake!" Great flavor and super texture. Made in a bundt pan for a family "do". Eventhough, I had prepared the bundt pan before I filled it, the cake cracked when I removed it from the pan. With no time to make another cake, I used Whole Wheat Carrot Cake With Creamy Orange Icing (Low Fat) as a soft orange icing recipe. (added a little more oj and a teas. grated orange rind) and covered the damage. There were no leftovers. This recipe is a keeper and I can't wait to make it again "with" your glaze. I'll be more careful when I remove the cake from the pan in the future. Thank you, thank you.

Everyone LOVED this cake. Made as directed, used a bundt pan, but it didn't rise very much. But the cake was so good it really didn't matter. For the icing, I used the suggestion from the review from cfletcher - 4 oz cream cheese, 1-1/2 cups of icing sugar, 3 T oj, and 1 T of butter, and I also added some leftover orange zest - and it was outstanding! I will make that icing recipe with this cake from now on - and I will make it together often!

Terrific cake! Just what I needed to satisfy the DH's sweet tooth! Since I didn't have any oranges, I used orange juice and substituted orange flavour for the zest. Worked fine! I used the bundt pan and the cake rose very nicely. I wanted to use up 1/2 container of my cream cheese so I used that with about 1-1/2 cups of icing sugar, a few tblsps. of orange juice and a tblsp. of butter for the icing. Wow....what a mouth watering combination...I even had a few mandarin orange segments left over from a salad so I topped the cake with those...very pretty ! I wil definitely make this again but this time for guests!

Very good orange flavor. Had tasted this cake before and never had the recipe. Easy to make and much better if butter is used. Definitely use fresh orange juice because there is really no substitute.

Delicious! I also baked it in a loaf tin and it turned out lovely. The glaze is perfect.

We really liked this, even though I typically don't even like orange flavored things! I halved the recipe and baked it in a loaf pan for 20 minutes. After glazing I also dusted the cake with powdered sugar, and I served it with a bit of Cool Whip. Really fresh tasting and moist! I want to try this again using lemon or lime in place of the orange! Thank you so much for posting.

Delicious cake. I poked holes in the cake with a cake tester before adding the tasty orange glaze. Will definitely be making this cake again. :)

My whole family really enjoyed this cake. Big enough to last 2 days in my home. Very nice, tender crumb, great orange flavour. Don't skip the glaze as it adds moistness and even more flavour.

I love all things orange. I made this last night and it is fabulous! I did skip the glaze b/c I don't like my desserts too sweet. This could be served as a coffee cake too. (I had it for breakfast with my coffee this morning.) YUM! Thanks for sharing.

Delicious! I cheated and tried the cake without the glaze and it was terrific, but with the glaze....my oh my, I had to have a second piece!

This was just the orange cake recipe I was looking for. A couple of weeks ago I bought juicing oranges on sale. You had to buy the whole string sack, and my kids don't eat THAT many oranges. I wanted a cake recipe to use up oranges, and this one is great. I used oil instead of butter, and demara sugar, and baked in loaf pans. I've already made this recipe three times. The last time I doubled the recipe to give one to a friend. Everyone who tries this cake absolutely loves it. This one is a keeper.

Honestly I thought I missed an ingredient or something, I checked the recipe again and again, the cake didn't RISE !!!! I followed the steps exactly as instructed and baked the cake for the exact time but the batter rose for maybe 1.2 inches at max, though the smell was great and the taste was good but the fact that we were eating a non rising cake makes me never wanna repeat this again. If someone can help me know what exactly could have gone wrong ?????

We loved this, I had SO many oranges to use up, this cake was perfect! I did double the amount of zest and also upped the glaze by about 1/4 cup more. A slice of heaven with your coffee in the morning...or for anytime! Thanks for posting Sharon.

Love this cake. Moist, tender crumb and very orangy...yummy. I didn't use the glaze simply because I don't like things too sweet. It is a personal preference. The orange zest made the cake so don't leave it out. Thanks for posting.

Yummy! It's full of flavour. Moist! By mistake I put the 2 eggs without separating them. So I decided to add 2 egg whites (2 eggs + 2 egg whites). Cause I didn't want to affect the texture of the cake. I used only 1/2 cup of sugar. Thanks Sharon :) Made for Zaar Star Game

Really good orange cake and adding the egg whites seperately really made it nice and moist. I added a bit more zest and some sugar free marmalade to the syrup. This is a definate keeper =)
