This is a "from scratch cake" so it is not the easiest, but it sure is good. My Mom used to make it for us and it was always a treat. There is something special about making things that create memories.

Would a food processer or a blender work to grind up everything? Or would it make it too mushy? I really want to try this. I love orange flavors.

Karen,
