I made this cake today for my husband's birthday. I used the suggestion of adding orange juice for some of the water. I also added 2 Tbs of orange zest. He loved it and ate ANOTHER piece. I will be making this again!

This evening, I needed something quick, easy and different to have for dessert following a wonderful meal prepared for my husband and his boss. I didn't have time to go to the store; which meant I had to use what was in the pantry. So, I was pleased to find this recipe. To give the cake a lighter and more moist taste, I used 1 cup water and 1/3 cup orange juice for the fluid in the cake mix. It was delicious. Since edible flowers are not a normal find in my kitchen, I sliced an orange and garnished the cake with a fresh orange and fresh mint, for color. Both of them were awed by the appearance. Wish I had read the reviews before baking the cake. Next time, I will use a 1/2 melted chocolate orange for the topping. Great idea! Oh, the boss took a very nice size piece home. I think we made lots of "Chocolate-Orange" points with the boss. Thanks!

My family loved this cake, but I think the recipe needs more orange peel. It could easily stand 4 T. Some people thought it was almond flavored instead of orange. Otherwise, it's a delicious cake!

Oh my!!! This cake is sinfully delicious! I made it today for Valentine's Day. It tasted divine. Very easy recipe to follow. The only change I made, was that I substituted a dark chocolate candy bar that's flavored with orange extract, for the chocolate chips. It just helped enhance the orange flavor of the cake. If I'm ever in the mood for a guilty pleasure, you can be sure that I'm going to make this cake!!!

This cake was easy to make, and it was AWESOME! I made this cake for a birthday in my office. It got rave reviews from everyone, and everyone wanted the recipe. Some said it was the best cake ever. I highly recommend this recipe and will definitely be making it again. Since I had leftover heavy whipping cream, I added some confectioners suger to that and decorated the top of the cake with that. Also, I think the cake tastes its best when it's cold.
