This is a good white cake recipe. It's a little dense but good overall. I made it for Christmas and used the peppermint frosting recipe. The cake calls for orange zest. I could definitely taste the orange zest, which didn't work very well with peppermint. If you are making the cake to go with orange or lemon frosting, it would be great. Otherwise, leave it out. The peppermint frosting was excellent! I used extra mints and extract because I like a stronger flavor. I followed the recipe and reserved 2 cups for between the layers and that was more than enough. When I went to frost the rest of the cake, I could have used about a 1/2 cup more. So, either make more frosting, or cut back to 1 1/2 cups for the middle layers. It's a good cake, but I'll go back to the Chocolate-Mint Cake for Christmas. It's outstanding!
