The spices can adjust to your preference. I just think the heavy cardamom is very lovely with the orange flavor.

Orange and cardamon... that sounds great.

Cinnamon also pairs well with oranges.

5 cups of oil? Is that a typo?

It was .5 cups, yes. I thought I put the point, but I did not.

 

[Calliegirl]

I thought so, but I wanted to be sure because you never know.

Now, if only I had some cardamom.

 

[Calliegirl]

I didn't have any cardamom, but I had pumpkin pie spice mix which did have it, so I used that.
The batter didn't have a very orangey flavor so I added some orange zest which did the trick. It was much denser than I expected, but it was good. It's iced with an orange glaze. Sorry the pictures are blurry, it was taken with a cheap cell phone.

Yum! Very nice, Calliegirl.

I do add zest sometimes.
