My aunt made this for Easter, and everyone loved it...no leftovers:(It is very simple and makes a nice presentation. I am not a big fan of mandarin oranges, but this cake is divine. I chop up the oranges just because I don't like big hunks of oranges, but you can leave them whole if you wish. A must try!! Baking time is approximate.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 box yellow or butter flavor cake mix
1/2 c vegetable or canola oil

3 eggs
1 can(s) ( 8 oz) crushed pineapple, un drained

Steps:

  • 1. Add the cake mix, oil, eggs and mandarin oranges with liquid to a large mixing bowl. Remove 6-8 orange segments and set aside for garnish
  • 2. Using a electric mixer blend together the cake ingredients. Pour into two greased and floured round cake pans.
  • 3. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes or until golden brown and the cake springs back. Remove from oven and let cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on a baking rack. Frost when cakes are completely cooled.

  • 5. This can be baked in a oblong cake pan or made into cupcakes if desired. I made mini cupcakes for snack time for bingo & none were left!

Tips:

  • Use fresh mandarin oranges for the best flavor and aroma. If using canned mandarin oranges, be sure to drain them well and rinse them before using.
  • For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of white sugar in the cake batter.
  • To make the frosting extra creamy, use a combination of butter and cream cheese. Be sure to beat the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy before adding the powdered sugar.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can bake the cake in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just adjust the baking time accordingly. The cake will likely take a little less time to bake.
  • For a fun and festive presentation, top the cake with additional mandarin orange slices and a few sprigs of mint.
