I made this cake for a dinner with friends. I had no problem with the frosting, but the glaze, although tasty, was more like a glob. Everyone enjoyed it and looked very pretty.

I used this recipe to make marble cupcakes with the orange & chocolate batters for my daughter's birthday last night. They turned out excellent! The cake, frosting and glaze taste great and had wonderful texture.

I also was excited to make this cake for my daughter's birthday. I had the same problem with the frosting as CARLInU11. The cake slid around and it was hard to keep the frosting on. I am a pretty good baker, but this one didn't work because of the frosting. I too kept adding more sugar to get it to thicken, but it didn't work. The cake was fine though. I really have never had this happen before. I may give it another try sometime, but use a different frosting recipe.

Looks impessive, fairly easy to make, tastes great. The texture was a little coarse, but othewise a great cake!

I was so excited to make this cake and felt let down with the outcome. The texture of the cake was overall "gooey" and the flavor of the chocolate layer was very bland. The frosting was way to runny and I had to add more sugar to it to thicken it. If I were to make it again I would use my own cake recipe or even a boxed mix would be better than this recipe. My party is tomorrow and I feel as though I need to make something else...really bummed!!

Didn't make this. But I will make with a box mix and tint a can of icing:)

Fabulous and oh so pretty! Big hit!"I was thrown off by "stir in 2 cups of batter", I believe it should actually read "reserve 2 cups of batter". " It actually means stir the cocoa, water and vanilla into 2 cups of the batter. That way the center layer is cocoa and the other two layers are orange.

Ok, just to clarify for myself and everyone; in the first directions paragraph, I was thrown off by "stir in 2 cups of batter", I believe it should actually read "reserve 2 cups of batter". Now it makes sense. This cake just looks and sounds too good to pass up, and I really wanted to try it. Thanks.

Haven't made the cake yet, but it looks adorable. The recipe says it makes 12 to 16 servings. The nutrition information doesn't clarify whether the serving they calculated is 1/12th or 1/16th of the cake.This is troubling.
