Made this at work today as an activity with my seniors. We opted to make cupcakes instead of the cake in order to get down to the eating part a bit faster, and boy was the eating good. 10 stars for a moist, melt in your mouth delicious treat. Thanks so much for sharing.

This bundt cake is the way a cake should be -- moist and tender. I've never made a cake with mayo and Dream Whip before, but they must be the "secret ingredients" that take this over the top. We all loved the orangey taste and I'll be making it again. I'm going to add some orange juice and orange zest to the glaze next time to enhance the delicious citrusy taste of this cake. Thanks for posting this recipe our family enjoyed so much.

This was great - my mother loves Dreamsicles, and she really liked this cake a lot. It is tender and has a nice orange flavor.
