"The original recipe calls for lemon cake mix, lemon jello and lemon juice ... but I just made it with orange and my family loved it. Great orange colour too!"

What a nice change from chocolate! Seems like we always make chocolate! This cake was so easy to make. It has a very refreshing orange flavor. I made it in a bundt pan and drizzled the frosting over, it was beautiful. Only problem I had was keeping my husband out of it!! Thanks for another winner, Lennie! -
Now this is what we in the South call a hum-dinger. The cake was awesome and perfect for our Halloween party. Thankfully, I was able to find the orange cake mix without any trouble. Beautiful color and very, very moist. Thanks so much for a totally yummy dessert.

I made this cake for my Dad, who loves anything with orange. He loved it and wanted to make sure that I never lose this recipe! I made the cake in a bundt pan, and it came out absolutely beautiful. I also used egg substitute, since my Dad had open heart surgery several years ago & is still very careful about cholesterol. I think I will experiment with other flavors too, such as strawberry. This one's a winner, Lennie - thank you! -M -
I made the lemon version because I could not find orange cake mix.It was delicious,very moist and citrusy.I also made it in a bundt pan.An excellent dessert! -
this was very good and easy to make!I messed up thew fist time by not adding the water,so I ran back to the store and they were out of orange cake mix! I used pineapple instead,with pineapple jello and pineapple juice.(I promise to make the orange next time!! :)

I have, in the past, used the lemon version of this recipe and loved it, so decided to try the orange. Since we have a lot of oranges in Florida, I used orange juice instead of water, added orange zest and about a tsp. of orange extract. Great flavor, very moist cake and lovely color. The recipe does not state when to pour on the glaze. Since I was using a bundt pan I unmolded the cake after ten minutes and poured the glaze on the still warm cake without poking holes in it. Worked beautifully. -
I used pineapple cake with pudding in the mix, and Island Pineapple Jello. Never thought to use Pineapple juice for the glaze until it was too late, but used a whipped topping and lemon jello frosting instead. It came out really tasty and next, I'll use the orange instead. It was very easy and moist.
