Great cake. We loved this treat. It was moist, tender and oh so delicious. I used orange juice instead of water, added a little orange rind to the cake mix and a tsp of orange extract. I glazed the cake while it was hot, several times, until most of the glaze was used up. It was sheer perfection. I can't wait to make this wonderful treat again. Thank you so much for sharing. My neighbors & I really enjoyed this cake.1Reply
