This cake was a great way to use up some extra oranges I had on hand. The cake was moist and flavorful, and the orange glaze was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this cake again.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The texture was moist and fluffy, and the orange flavor was prominent. I think next time I'll try reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the orange flavor was barely there. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this cake again.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cake turned out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I over-mixed the batter? I'll try again and see if I can get it right next time.

This cake was a bit denser than I expected, but it was still very good. The orange flavor was subtle but present. I think next time I'll try adding a glaze to the top to make it a bit sweeter.
