Delicious! I stuck pretty close to this recipe. I used a boxed yellow cake that called for softened butter instead of oil, which is what I used. The reason I gave this a 4 instead on a 5, the glaze. I followed the directions, but it was just too runny. I ended up adding extra powdered sugar to help thicken it. I added an extra 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.
I once had a Harvey Wallbanger cake and thought it was excellent. Sadly this recipe was disappointing. It was a bit dry. I used the orange cake mix per several reviews but it just gave the cake an artificial color. The glaze was very runny so I added more confectioner’s sugar. When I compare to other recipes online, the others call for double the oil and for the glaze only 1 tablespoon each of galiano and orange juice and only a tsp of vodka. This of course would improve the consistency.
I made it exactly as written. No orange slices in top. Just fresh orange zest. It was amazing & not a single crumb left!
It is frustrating that companies have downsized the amount in packaged foods like cake mix. This creates problems for recipes. I tackled this problem by buying two boxes of the cake mix. I divided up one of the boxes into 5 baggies to add one baggie to one box of cake mix. Now I am set. I tried this recipe with both the yellow cake mix and the orange cake mix. I liked the yellow cake mix much better. The orange cake mix tasted artificial and the Galiano flavor was masked. My husband talked about this cake which he fondly remembered from his grandmother. He loved this recipe and so did the rest of the family.
I made this exactly as the recipe said and everyone loved it. It was moist and had good flavor. The orange in the cake could be more, I couldn’t find an orange cake mix so I may try it with an bit of orange extract next time. Still great without though!
So, so good!! Easy to make, extremely moist!
This has been my favorite cake since I was a kid in the 1970s, now it’s my son’s favourite! This is the exact recipe my Mom started using way back then EXCEPT, somehow in the ingredients list Galliano has been replaced with Anicette, that would be a huge mistake! The directions are all correct just the list is wrong. Try it you’ll love it!
Easy, delicious and stays fresh and moist for a few days.
Like others have said, they substituted orange cake mix which is what my mother used to do. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find these days. So…I substituted orange vodka which added a nice addition.
I have made this for my family at Christmas and it went over so well that now give this out as Christmas gift. The one gift my whole family waits for with a big smile each year.
I make this for my birthday every year. It’s my favorite cake! Just a few adjustments: use orange cake mix (KEY), do not use alcohol in the glaze instead add a little orange extract and orange zest and maybe some milk.
All time favorite! I have been baking this cake for years. It is easy to put together and I’m always asked for the recipe. I keep a bottle of Galiano in the cupboard at all times.
Made this for New Year’s Eve and the crowd loved it!
Easy cake that everyone loves!
Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic cake recipe. I had a beloved Aunt who used to make this cake and brought it whenever she visited. I miss her very much, still. Your cake recipe tastes just like her cake, if I use an orange cake mix, and orange infused vodka, and it reminds me of her. Your cake is fantastic! And thank you for helping me remember my Aunt in such a great way. I think think she would love it, too 😀
I made this for my boyfriend’s birthday after he told me Harvy Walbanger cake is his favorite. This makes an amazingly rich, moist, delicious cake. I used fresh squeezed orange juice and zested the rind into the batter for extra orange flavor. I didn’t have the right kind of pan, so I made cupcakes!
I have made this cake three times now for different gatherings ,and I never have any to bring home.
I have made this recipe many times and have also made a variation, it issoooo good, I serve it room temperature with Cool whip I put just a touch of orange flavour in my cool whip and it is amazing the orange cake mix, makes all the difference if you use the white cake mix, add orange extract to the batter Excellent.

I made this for a Superbowl party. It was gone in a hour. Very moist. I used 1 stick of unsalted butter instead of oil. I like to use butter in place oil. I think it makes cake and brownie mixes taste more homemade. I followed the rest of the recipe. It was excellent. Will make it again. Definitely an adult cake!!
Made this for a girls weekend up north. Everyone loved it.
I got this exact recipe from my grandmother year ago, I’ve been making (and enjoying) it since I was in my early teens. It’s such a quick, easy treat and makes great mini loafs for holiday gifts!
