  • “SO good!!!! Not that it needed changes but I was going by what I had on hand. I used butter instead of margarine. I didn’t have butter flavoring or orange extract so used 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp. maple extract, 2 tsp orange juice. I also added 1/8 tsp. cardamom to flour mixture and when cool I topped with a powdered sugar glaze with vanilla and cinnamon. YUM!!!”

  • “A terrific cake!We froze it a month before Thanksgiving, defrosted it in the refrigerator overnight and brought it out in the morning to room temp.Had it for breakfast AND dessert.Thanks!”

  • “Wow, delicious! I used just a 1/4 teaspoon of the orange extract, and more vanilla instead of the butter extract. I also used nonfat sour cream, and only 1/4 cup of the brown sugar. I like how you can taste the orange, pumpkin, spice and filling, but none overwhelms the other. Made this as muffins – a dozen and a half little treats, baked for 24 minutes. I have been wanting to make this recipe for a long time, and it did not disappoint!”

  • “I made this,on Sunday for dinner.I had opened a can of pumpkin puree for Canadain Thanksgiving in October, and I froze the unused portion in a ziploc bag.The cake was easy to prepare, and tasted awesome. DH had some for breakfast, he loved it.I used real butter, and 1 tsp each vanilla and orange extracts.I served it with caramel low fat ice cream, mmmmm.Thank you for a fabulous recipe.”
