This lightly sweet, no-mixer-required cake gets a its touch of sophistication from sweetened segmented oranges and strips of zest.

This was heavy and bland.. needs more 'zing' to it if it's going to have 'orange' in the name! I don't recommend this recipe.

I love this cake! It has a wonderful orange flavor and the zest adds such nice texture and color. It is very moist, spongy and flavorful. It really only takes 10 minutes of prep time, and it bakes beautifully- even in bundt or mini bundt pans. It makes a delicious and impressive dessert. Great for sharing with friends.

I liked this cake. It has a good texture--spongy--easy to make and tastes good! Our kids liked it too. You can always serve it with ice cream or drizzle a chocolate glaze over it, so it is versatile. We have been invited to dinner tonight and this is what I am taking for dessert.
