Overall, this is a great recipe for a moist and flavorful spice cake. The citrus frosting is a nice touch that adds a bit of brightness to the cake.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover citrus fruits. I had some oranges and lemons that were about to go bad, so I decided to make this cake. It turned out great! The cake was moist and flavorful, and the frosting was tangy and sweet.

The cake was a bit dry, but the frosting was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would make some adjustments to the cake batter.
