Orange Streusel Loaf Cake

Submitted by -Tulip-

"This yummy cake is my potluck specialty and everyone absolutely loves it. It comes from a recipe on the side of the Duncan Hines Orange Supreme cake mix. It is one of the most moist and tastiest cakes I've ever eaten. The orange cake mixes can sometimes be hard to find so another suggestion would be to use the Tropical cake mix. Either way, mmm-mmm good!!!"

I also found this recipe on the side of the cake box. I followed the directions exactly, however, I baked it in a 9x13 pan. My husband has already had his second slice and I agree that it was tasty, but it still had that "cake mix" quality to it. I wouldn't consider it an "over the top" cake.

This is very light, sweet with a slight citrus flavor. I couldn`t find orange so I used lemon 18.25 ounces Betty Crocker super moist cake mix. I added almond slices to the topping. I feel it serves more like 18 then 24! That is if you can stop at one slice! Yum!

I made this cake and it was so delicious! I didn't have 2 loaf pans so I made 1 large cake in a 13X9 baking pan. It came out perfect by just adjusting the baking time slightly. It was a hit so I'm making it again for a Bunco party. A must try!
