Time 1h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup butter, softened
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
½ cup water
½ cup orange juice
⅓ cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
1 (16 ounce) can prepared vanilla frosting
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
3 tablespoons grated orange zest
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 inch pans. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, walnuts and butter. Divide mixture evenly between the prepared pans. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the cake mix, water, orange juice and oil until blended. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the orange zest. Pour the mixture evenly over the crunch layer in the pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and cool completely before frosting. Frost (crunch side up) between layers, on top and sides. Arrange orange sections on top, then refrigerate.
  • To make the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the vanilla frosting until light and fluffy, then mix in the whipped topping. Stir in the orange and lemon zest. Use frosting on completely cooled cake layers.

I've made this cake several times and it's always a hit. It's moist, flavorful, and the streusel topping is the perfect finishing touch.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of orange desserts, but this cake changed my mind. It was so moist and flavorful, and the streusel topping was the perfect finishing touch.

This cake was a hit with my family! The orange flavor was perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the cake and crunch of the streusel topping. I'll definitely be making this again.
