This is a favorite from a very old Better Homes and Gardens book. I use it to make my Orange Icebox Cake (recipe 75433).

I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have a tube pan. Do you think I could use a Bundt pan instead?

I love the orange glaze on this cake. It adds a bit of sweetness and citrusy flavor that really complements the cake.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't rise properly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might try adding some extra orange juice or zest next time.

I love the simplicity of this recipe. It's so easy to make, and the results are always delicious. I've even started experimenting with different citrus fruits, like lemon and grapefruit.

This orange sponge tube cake was a hit at my family gathering! Everyone loved the light and fluffy texture, and the citrusy orange flavor was perfect. I will definitely be making this cake again.
