Recipe Reviews
Worth trying if you're second guessing, I'd only recommend to make a lot of room on your table to make this!
I'd gladly get fat eating this loaf on a daily basis! The orange glaze is just heavenly.
This is so fancy it reminds me of an actual bakery dish and I made it in my own home!!
Kids love this more than plain ole' vanilla icecream cake so I'd say this is a big winner for sure.
I used brown sugar instead and almond milk, I think it makes it taste a little different but still very good.
My husband is in love with me even more now after taking a bite of this he was in shock, LOL!
Great recipe really happy with how it turned out thank you for sharing.
This has such a strong flavor and it's really easy to make plus it looks so fancy so I totally recommend it.
Heaven shaped into an orange cake, mmm I loved this so much can't even describe how much!
It basically taste like pound bread with frosting, its not bad.
Took a super long time to make so I'm not too happy about that but it did taste good.
The loaf came out so soft and the texture was just perfect, love it.
When I first saw this I honestly thought it was the coolest looking cake ever, tasted just as I expected too, yummy as all heck.
Delicious, absolutely love it and everything about this amazing orange blood loaf, can't wait to dig into it again.
I decorated mine a tad differently with a different food coloring too but it was totally amazing.
Ultra sugary and zengy just how i like my cakes-- this is so freaking good.
Tasty and super filling I'm far too happy with this and wish I could put more than 5 stars.
Will be making this for every birthday now apparently it's the family favorite more than the baileys!
This was super hard to make to be honest, didn't think I'd manage to do it at all but It came out alright just slightly burnt.
My friend made this and recommended it to me once I tried it I was in love but i'm not really sure where to get blood orange juice in Czech?
I love it! Yummy-yummy!
