Tips:
- To ensure your cake has a moist and tender crumb, make sure to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a cake that is both flavorful and delicate.
- Don't overmix the batter once you've added the dry ingredients. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- For a more intense citrus flavor, use freshly squeezed mandarin orange juice and zest. If you don't have fresh mandarin oranges on hand, you can use store-bought juice and zest, but the flavor will be slightly less pronounced.
- Be sure to preheat your oven before you start baking the cake. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before pouring in the batter. You can also use a non-stick baking spray.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
