This is a good cake, after reading Rita's review I added in a couple tablespoons vegetable oil, and used fresh orange juice in place of the Grand Marnier, the cake could have been just a bit sweeter for out taste, all in all, it's a great cake! thanks BK!...Kitten:) -
I found this a bit dry. Had no ice cream so I topped it with <a href="/179608">Raspberry Cream Cheese Fluffy Frosting</a>. I did find it to be full of flavor. I have a feeling this is one of those cakes that you let sit overnight and the flavors will enhance. I used a 9 inch cake pan to bake it in. Thanks!

Very fortunate to have a cherished son, wonderful daughter in law and adorable granddaughter and cute wee grandson. We are very blessed.
A big thank you to everyone that has made my recipes... hope you enjoyed them.
