more like a lemon bar than a brownie
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was my first time to make these, but not to enjoy them. My husband loves them. I find them to be more like a lemon bar... in consistency than a brownie. I followed the recipe exactly and the bars were gooey, yet they stood on their own when cut into small squares. A small piece will easily satisfy as they are a very sweet treat. Read more

I love it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is so good. I had never tried an orange cake. I highly recommend it. Per suggestions, I added less sugar, 3 eggs... and didn't use orange extract. It came out so delicious, with a natural orange flavor. Read more

Very good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I fixed these yesterday but used a glaze on second posting of Paula's recipe instead of cream cheese frosting--which I liked,... by the way. My only comment would be that 'Orange Bars' would be a more accurate description of the final product. We thought they were identical to lemon bars--just the orange version. If you're expecting a 'brownie'--you'll be disappointed; and, if you notice, the recipe doesn't contain any baking powder or soda.Read more

Yummy ;D)
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is so delicious. I made a few changes as others suggested. I added 1C flour , 1 1/2C sugar, and 3 eggs instead of four.... Every thing came out terrific. Thanks Paula.Read more
