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.

MANDARIN ORANGE CAKE - FROM SCRATCH



Mandarin Orange Cake - From Scratch image

One word for this cake..its DELICIOUSSSSSS! Enjoy! My photos

Provided by Cassie *

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 - 1/2 c flour
2 - 1/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 c butter, room temperature
2 - 1/2 c sugar, divided
4 eggs
11 oz can mandarin oranges, undrained
FROSTING
2 c whipping cream
1 box 3.4 ounce (4-serving size) box instant vanilla pudding ( i use french vanilla )
1 8-ounce can crushed pineapple, undrained

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
  • 2. In a small bowl, whisk flour and baking powder. Set aside.
  • 3. Cream butter and 2 cups of sugar. Add eggs one at a time until all combined.
  • 4. Add entire can of mandarin oranges. Beat into batter, slightly crushing up oranges.
  • 5. Slowly add flour mixture until well mixed. Divide batter between 2 pans. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes, or until pick comes out clean.
  • 6. While cakes are baking, make the frosting. Whip cream with remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and pudding mix until stiff peaks form. Hand stir-in pineapple and juice. ( I had a few mandarin oranges left and threw them in along with the pineapple for color). Refrigerate till ready to use.
  • 7. When cakes are baked; cool in pans for 2 minutes. Remove from pans and completely cool on wire rack.
  • 8. I place 3 sheets of waxed paper on serving platter, to have a mess free plate after frosting. Just pull the sheets out from under the cake when frosting is finished.
  • 9. Place first cooled cake, bottom side up. Frost the top, add the second layer frost the top and sides. I sprinkled some toasted coconut on the top. Completely optional. Should refrigerate 1 hour prior to serving. My kids wouldn't wait till the cake had a chance to set up...so as to why filling looks a little soft..lol
  • 10. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a moist cake, use fresh mandarin oranges and pineapple juice. Using canned fruits will result in a drier cake.
  • Be sure to drain the mandarin oranges well before adding them to the batter. Excess moisture will make the cake dense.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will result in a dry cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. Frosting a warm cake will cause the frosting to melt.
  • If you don't have time to make the pineapple frosting, you can use a store-bought frosting instead.

Conclusion:

This Mandarin Orange Cake with Pineapple Frosting is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist, flavorful, and has a beautiful presentation. The pineapple frosting is the perfect complement to the orange flavor of the cake. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
