These were yummy! I added 3 heaping spoonfuls of plain yogurt to the batter and they turned out very moist.

I switched the orange juice to the 3/4 cup and the champagne to the 1/2 cup and it tasted way more like a mimosa that way the orange didn't over power the taste.

These did not live up to my high hopes. The champagne seemed to make the cake mix slightly dry. The orange flavor took over and unless told you would have no clue there was even champagne in them. One of my co-workers said that they were good but she would call them a white cake with orange frosting. Probably wont make these again.
