  1. This was really good! The cake was very moist with a nice spice flavour with a hint of pumpkin. I was making a pumpkin-shaped cake, so I did up a double recipe, which I baked in four 8" round tins. It was perfect for my project! Thanks for posting.
     
  2. Wonderful blend of flavors. This cake tasted very rich and was very moist. I would have preferred a more pronounced orange flavor in the frosting but everyone else loved it. This will be a repeat, especially around the holidays.
