    We had friends over for dinner to celebrate a birthday and this cake was the star of the show. The birthday "girl" said it was probably the best cake she had ever tasted. We used sour cream in the absence of creme fraiche and can't imagine how it could have been better. This is one that will become a regular for special occasions. Giada, you're beautiful!

    I haven't actually baked this myself BUT a woman that I work with made it. It was so yummy. Lots of orange flavor and very moist. I will be making it this weekend.

    The cake is delicious and the frosting tastes good with it, though I did alter it a bit because of the reviews I read that it was way sweet.
    I did not add 1/4 cup of orange zest to the cake mix, instead I used half of that (2 large oranges. I think if I would've used the amount in the recipe, it would've been way too orangey.

    I also used 4 T of Vegetable Shortening instead of butter for the icing and 4oz of cream cheese instead of the creme fresh.

    Finally, I used the raspberry jam to taste. I added it to the cream cheese and vegetable shortening after they were well mixed. I also added a little squeeze of lemon juice, but after thinking about it, I think a teaspoon of vanilla extract would work nicely as well.

    I thought they were delicious though. The flavor combo is good.

    This cake is great the way it is. The frosting is sugary but isn't frosting supposed to be that way? I did over bake the cake a bit since I used 9" pans but that was my fault!

    This cake was awful! It was very pretty but that's about the best I can say for it. The cake was dry and the icing way too sweet. Also, I had a problem with the icing being very loose and I made the entire recipe as directed. I think that putting the jam down for the filling and then the icing on top would have helped with the sliding factor. I will definitely NOT make this one again.

    By mistake, I used 1/2 c. raspberry jam for the frosting. It was a little looser than it should have been, but the color is awesome! I'm sure it will be delicious. Glad I caught Giada's show this morning.

    I made this cake with pineapple preserves instead of raspberry because I was entering it into a contest and I didn't want it to be pink. I WON THE CONTEST in the taste category!!! I would highly recommend this recipe:
