Hey Natasha, the cake does have a citrus punch to it yet the white and dark chocolate chips adds extra sweetness. I'm becoming a big fan of Betty Crocker for her vanilla cakes as can be seen in my red velvet cupcakes. The brand of colour is call queen.

Love this recipe. So what does this cake actually taste like? Does it have an orange tinge to it? Would it work with vanilla Betty Crocker? And last question, what brand of food color are you using? =) thank you!

Hey Lulu, I'm sorry I don't know what the 7 layer cookies taste like to give you a comparison. :)
