This cake was so easy to make. I was worried about all the orange peel that went into it, but it wasn't overpowering. I had to bake it about twice as long as the recipe says. It also left an orange jel at the bottom of the pan, which some of my family didn't like, but I couldn't get enough of it. Thanks for a yummy and delicious recipe.
