Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Sweets can add enjoyment to a balanced diet, but remember to keep tabs on portions.

Special Extra

Add a simple orange glaze. Just mix 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 tsp. orange zest, 4 tsp. orange juice and 2 tsp. melted butter or margarine until well blended. Drizzle over cooled cake. Let stand until firm.

Variation

Mix batter as directed; spoon into 24 paper-lined muffin cups, filling each cup 2/3 full. Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Makes 24 servings.

Very quick and easy to make. The cake was very moist. I used a lemon flavored cake mix which turned out well.

A great easy recipe for brunches. Very moist, smells great while cooking, so good with morning coffee.

The texture of the cake is so smooth. It look deliciously heavy but actually its not. I made it for Thanksgiving pot-luck party, guess what, many of them ask from me the recipe.

I needed to make a quick cake for our card club and found that I had all the ingredients at home so I tried this recipe. It was a big hit. It is delicious.....so light and fluffy. I never had luck with a "box cake" but this one I will definitely make again.
