I submitted a correction in the baking temp - from 350C to 350F. This was my 1st time baking a cake from scratch and it turned out well. Lovely texture and a light orange flavor, very dense. I would have liked it to have a sweeter taste & to be moister. I used a 9x13 pan and it was done in 35m. Added orange extract to white frosting to compliment the orange flavor of the cake. We all kids & adults, enjoyed this after dinner, thank you.

I am a 53 year old Mexican-American elementary school teacher. I enjoy reading biographies, intresting nonfiction, and also love all types of catchy upbeat music. My favorite cookbook is the "Kitchen Fair" trademark cookware recipe book in Spanish. Being bilingual and bicultural, I've come to appreciate the best of both U.S. and Mexican cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised that many, many zaar members include Mexican food as their first favorite food. I'll try to post, as time permits, some Mexican recipes (and also American) that I consider good.
