EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

When grating orange peel, take care not to include any of the white pith, which is bitter tasting.

Looking to showcase this cake but don't have a cake pedestal? Secure a rimmed cake plate to a compatible upside-down bowl with sticky wax or hot glue (not recommended for fine china, crystal or antiques). The pieces will be secure yet easy to separate for cleaning.

A little disappointed with the cake. Dry and the orange flavor did not come thru enough. All in all my family liked it because it wasn't too sweet.

This cake was absolutely delicious. I didn't expect it to be heavy like a pound cake since I read the other reviews. And I took suggestions from the previous review for the glaze and poked holes with a chopstik and poured some icing into the cake while hot and still in the pan. Then took out the cake and poured it on top. Wonderful. Family loves it. Moist and flavorful.

This cake is very moist, and flavorful. Much easier than a pound cake from scratch if you need a desert in a hurry! I made a glaze for the top with powdered sugar,one half stick softened butter, and one fourth cup orange juice. Simply heat over low , and pour over the warm cake~Easy,and delicious! Will definately make this one again!
