Tips:
- Mandarin oranges are the star of this cake, so make sure to use fresh, ripe fruit. If you can't find mandarin oranges, you can substitute another type of citrus fruit, such as oranges, grapefruit, or lemons.
- Grated orange zest adds a lovely citrus flavor to the cake. Be sure to zest the oranges before juicing them, so you get the most flavor.
- Buttermilk adds a slight tanginess and helps to keep the cake moist. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a well-greased and floured bundt pan. This will help to ensure that the cake comes out of the pan easily.
- Let the cake cool completely before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help to prevent the cake from breaking.
- Dust the cake with powdered sugar or glaze it with a citrus glaze before serving. This will add a touch of sweetness and elegance.
