Time 1h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup butter, softened
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
½ cup water
½ cup orange juice
⅓ cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
1 (16 ounce) can prepared vanilla frosting
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
3 tablespoons grated orange zest
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 inch pans. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, walnuts and butter. Divide mixture evenly between the prepared pans. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the cake mix, water, orange juice and oil until blended. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the orange zest. Pour the mixture evenly over the crunch layer in the pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and cool completely before frosting. Frost (crunch side up) between layers, on top and sides.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges. Fresh oranges will give your cake the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use frozen or canned oranges, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Zest the oranges before you juice them. The zest of the orange contains a lot of flavor, so it's important to zest the oranges before you juice them. You can use a microplane zester or a regular grater.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This is the best way to ensure that the cake is done baking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Orange crunch cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist orange cake, crunchy topping, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give orange crunch cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
