Orange Dream Angel Food Cake image

A basic angel food cake becomes a heavenly indulgence, thanks to a hint of orange flavor swirled into every bite. The orange color makes slices of the cake look so pretty when arranged on individual dessert plates.-Lauren Osborne, Holtwood, Pennsylvania

This cake was okay. It was not as good as I expected, but it was still edible. The orange flavor was very subtle, and the cake was a bit dry. I would not make this cake again.

I was disappointed with this cake. It was very dry and crumbly. The orange flavor was also very weak. I would not recommend this recipe.

This cake was a bit more dense than I expected, but it was still very good. The orange flavor was very subtle, but it was still there. I would definitely make this cake again, but I would probably add a little more orange zest to the batter.
