I'm allergic to citrus, so I substituted lemon zest for the orange zest. The cake still turned out great!

The cake didn't rise properly and it was a bit dry. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good.

I've made this cake several times and it always turns out perfectly. It's so moist and flavorful, and the glaze gives it a beautiful shine.
