CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S A MIX! March 9, 2008 The reason I started baking was because of boxed cake mixes; they tasted just awful. One bite and you know it came out of a box. I was an accomplished baker for quite a few years, and let me tell you, this does not taste like a boxed cake mix. It tastes like genuine chocolate and pure orange; just absolutely delicious. Not only delicious but could not be easier to make - just add some water and melted butter. It is by far the very best I have ever had in a mix. Treat yourself to something wonderful; I'm glad I did!
Cant. Nat. Orange Pound Cake January 27, 2008 If you love chocolate, you will love this cake mix. It is very moist and chocolatey with a hint of orange. I served it at Christmas and added a chocolate icing to it. Everyone raved about it, and several asked for the recipe (which of course is a secret family recipe). The mix is simple and the price is fantastic. I am really glad to have found Canterbury Naturals on Amazon. I have used many of their mixes, and they are all wonderful.
Canterbury Naturals Orange Pound Cake December 29, 2007 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am sorry that I purchased SIX boxes of this product. I made one box and followed the directions for the brownie version. The finished product was anything but delicious. The orange taste was on the bitter side and the chocolate cake/brownie was very grainy and crumbly. The name sounded so good - but it did not live up to it's name and I was very disappointed. My guests agreed that it just wasn't good.
Easy and good. December 12, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just had surgery and needed an easy dessert to make for the holiday parties. All you have to do is add butter and water. My husband actually made it. It was very good and didn't have that "boxed" taste. Now I am trying more flavors of this brand.
Directions are WRONG for the glaze November 26, 2007 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
My husband and I made one of these Canterbury Naturals Chocolate Orange Pound Cakes last weekend..... I say "we" made it w/my tongue in cheek because these are, indeed, very simple and definitely do not require any help.
I was glad my husband was there for making the glaze, however, (so I would have a witness and would not get teased later)...... because I was VERY surprised to see the Orange Glaze recipe:
1/2 cup orange juice & 1/2 cup GRANULATED sugar - not confectioner's sugar as I have only ever used in glazes before.
I've baked a few things in my life that call for glazes and I've never seen granulated sugar called for in a recipe. Not being a baker by trade I thought there must be something I don't know about this simple concoction......so, w/my husband's encouragement I proceeded to go with the box & not my instincts....
Incredulous, we decided to do what the directions called for: combine the o.j. & granulated sugar, simmer for 5 min. over med. heat, let cool 5 min. then pour or brush over top of cooled cake....
Just as we suspected, the glaze was a disaster and not only tasted odd but looked even worse - the "glaze" never got to a glaze consistency and just soaked into the (already dense) cake and pooled around the bottom in the sheet pan........lol
The cake itself, mind you, was delicious, just as the other reviewers have stated (more so before the soaking of the odd "glaze"). I checked and ALL SIX boxes of the mix that we were shipped have the same directions. I feel CERTAIN that this is a typo and that you are supposed to use 1/2 cup of CONFECTIONER'S SUGAR and NOT granulated....
Otherwise, we like the cakes and will continue to bake them..... just a heads up for all you other bakers out there that follow the directions and not your instincts......
Cheers, JA
