Very easy and tasty/moist/sweet. I would add some walnuts to topping next time. Also made the crumb mixture and topped it after cake was in oven for about 20 minutes and baked it an extra 5 minutes or so at the end...total 35-40 minutes. Good way to use up extra orange juice.

Interesting cake. Seemed like alot of flour and sugar, but it turned out moist and nice. The orange juice flavor is a bit strong, but goes well with the cinnamon topping. This would be a great cake to make with the kids, as it's super easy, and uses ingredients that would be in any pantry.

I made this cake today and found the orange flavor almost non existent. I didn't use grated peel, which would have brought the flavor up. My husband is diabetic and avoids frostings like the plague. This just has a light sprinkling of cinnamon sugar which also gives it a little crunch. This is a very blonde cake! I would call it a yellow cake, and I think could be a swap out for a yellow cake. It is very moist, and has a good texture. While 4 C. Of flour may seem like a lot, it is a sheet cake.

Will not be making this again. If you like more of a bread tasting cake you'll like it. With no frosting I was expecting the cake to be sweeter. If I made this again I would add a citrus glaze to make the orange flavor stand out even more. Also to add more sweetness.
