I'm a very experienced baker and I followed the ingredients/directions precisely...and this cake is a disaster. It's more of a very dense goo, kind of like marzipan-consistency. I bake with yeast all the time, so I'm sure that was good. Huge disappointment. I never throw food away, but this time is going to be the exception. I see that (some other people seem to have had it turn out edible, so best-case this is an unreliable recipe.

Unfortunately I was not impressed by this cake. It looked really pretty but the taste was nothing like I was expecting. I ended up throwing it away when no one wanted seconds. Maybe I'll try it again sometime when I have nothing to do.

This cake tastes incredible and looks quite impressive when you take the time to place the orange segments. The recipe is easy but takes a bit of time, which is well worth the end result. Don't skip the creme fraiche. It balances out the sweetness of the syrup on the top.

Made this yesterday and it was absolutely incredible! I had trouble getting the topping to be syrupy, but I poured it on nonetheless and it was still delicious. I love the pine nuts on top and especially like the consistency.

Well, only two stars, but it was my fault. I only had active yeast and I mixed it with the milk to activate. I think that was the problem. I let it rest for 20 min. and baked to arrive at a lead cake. Use the instant yeast!! The flavor of the cake was delicious, but the consistancy wasn't (my fault. The syrup was fantastic. I ended up using it on another olive oil cake using baking powder instead of yeast (Torta di Mandoria from Babbo's resturant. I will try again. Guy's recipes are the best!!!!

Made this right after if aired and my family could not get over how tastey it was. I used rapid rising yeast and had no problems. Very good and I cannot wait to make it again.

Guests LOVED this moist and VERY orange recipe! I live in California where fresh oranges are right in the backyard. I was also able to find citrus olive oil (Temecula Olive Oil Companywhich is made from blood oranges.....YUMMM!!
