These are terrific - moist and full of flavour - I have passed on the recipe to friends as well.

Wow! A wonderful recipe! Very flavourful and surprisingly 'fluffy' and light tasting. I did add 2-3 extra tbsp. of orange juice as the batter was very dry. I will make this one over and over again.

Extremely flavorful recipe! I used whole wheat flour and found the batter a bit dry and it did not rise much, but the fabulous flavor more than made up for it. I will add more juice next time. Do not pass this recipe by!!!
