  1. Barb, you definitley have a winner with this one! I used all butter, and used orange concentrate for the juice, the flavor was wonderful! Loved the addition of coconut, very tropical! Very easy to make, and a cake I will make a lot. Thanks!
     
  2. Hello Barb; Made your cake yesterday, and it was scrumptous, nice and moist. The coconut added a nice touch to the taste. This will be on my priority list in the future. Thanks for the recipe. "Uncle Bill"
     
  3. My daughter and I made this cake last night, and it is sure to become a family favorite. I used all butter, and instead of 1 cup milk used orange juice. I also used vanilla extract instead of almond. The orange flavor was superb, and the coconut made it sublimely tropic! We noshed on the cake last night, the kids took slices to school, and I'm sure by tonight I'm going to have to make another one. Good one, Barb!
     
  4. This was very good!! Very dense and moist!! I did have some problems though -- this makes a LOT of batter. More than my little handheld Kitchenaid mixer could handle. Also -- you need to use a very LARGE bowl. I used a 10 inch tube pan & the batter overflowed! I attribute these little "problems" to my own lack of expertise in baking. I would definitely make this cake again though!! The taste was awesome & the hint of coconut was a perfect final touch to a great flavor.
     
  5. Great cake! easy and tasty I didnt have a fresh orange so added another couple of tablespoons juice I also skewered top and drizzled some fresh orange juice over the top. (I halved the amount and baked in a small loaf tin)
