This cake is delicious and moist! It was made as per the directions. I did add a tablespoon of grated orange zest for additional orange flavor. I used the chocolate frosting and since this was a bundt cake, I put 1/2 the frosting in the microwave for a few seconds then drizzled the cake with the warmed frosting. My guests did not believe it was a cake mix cake.
