I love this cake! Moist, flavorful, and crunchy. I used 2 blood oranges instead of the wine and the zest from both and made a lemon glaze instead of the sugar topping. I love lemon glaze on citrus cakes. I also lowered the oven temp to 350 as 375 bakes cakes too quickly in my oven. Cake was done in 33 minutes. I will definitely make it again. Did i say I love this cake?? It's really delicious and easy to make!

I've made this many times and it's always a hit. Not a fancy Dessert Cake, really, but wonderful with tea or at breakfast. Two things: (1) Use light olive oil for a better flavor, and (2) One day I threw in a handful of coconut and it's a fantastic addition to the flavor and texture. (I ADORE this cake... have even successfully sent it via mail, wrapped well w/Saran wrap on a cake round.)

A great cake with a light flavor.

Delicious with basic ingredients and quick to put together. Made a double batch for one to go to the freezer. Only change I made was to not add the sugar topping. Thank you for sharing the recipe, John!

I am a complete novice to baking and this cake turned out wonderfully for me! I used the zest from a large navel orange and the orange flavor was just a bit too strong, so next time will reduce. Also I used sanding sugar for the top- I thought 1/3 cup ended up being too much- next time will use a little less. Really delicious and easy! Can't wait to make it again- this will be my go-to for the summer.

This is a very delicious and pretty cake! I used 1/2 cup fresh orange juice from 2 oranges. Definitely I will make it again and use zest of two oranges; I thought it doesn't have enough flavor.

This cake is delicious! So simple to make that my kids made it. I used white whole wheat flour and OJ. Will most definitely make again and again!

i thought this cake was delicious! it's really light and is made in one bowl -- you can't beat that! bakes up perfectly and the flavors are wonderful. definitely something i will be making again

I love this cake! It's light and refreshing, a different kind of dessert. For bijtje1965: 1 cup of flour =125 grams; 1 cup of sugar =200 grams; 1 cup of oil =224 grams

This cake is easy to make and people really like it. It has a light taste and the combination of crunchy top and soft inside is really great. Don't skip the orange slices it really dresses up the plate!
