Next time, feel free to use the juice of only four of the oranges, especially if they’re totally juicy. I’ll try to measure exactly how much I use next time I make this.
Am a bit confused over the sugar — granulated sugar means common white sugar — what kind did you use?

Okay, I’m not a baker at all… slice and bake cookies are my speed. But I was inspired to try this recipe. My kids have been off of school for several days now and Sunday afternoon it was raining so I thought: “let’s try this cake..” what a perfect rainy day activity.

So we did it and it was fun to make (three kids plus me: my 14 year old daughter and two neighborhood boys, age 13 and 15). It turned out to be DELICOUS!! And not difficult to follow. I do wonder if the zest was made correctly. It was not that thick. I ran out of the granulated sugar so then I added regular sugar. But it tasted great. And yes… we used Florida oranges…

Several neighbors came by to try it and it was thumbs up all the way around.

Thanks for the recipe! I can’t wait to try it again.
