This was excellent with a great orange flavor. Reminded me of my Mom's orange cake 5 decades ago. Followed recipe as is except added just a tad of food coloring to make the frosting and filling look more orange.
Cake was too moist and fell apart when i took it out of the pan. The filling was also very lumpy even after 20 minutes of whipping on high speed with an electric hand mixer.
This is delicious and sure to impress whoever gets to eat it!
This recipe is wonderful, light and fluffy and not to sweet! Perfect if you love orange cake!
Everyone loved the cake. My family doesn't care for overly sweet frostings...this was perfect. Definitely will make this again.
Desserts to not only eat but use as centerpieces during your Easter dinner.
