The ingredients for this dessert come straight from the pantry, writes Lynda McCormick of Burkburnett, Texas. It's a great little cake for nights when you want something sweet. Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained |
1 egg |
topping: |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
2 tablespoons butter, cubed |
2 tablespoons milk |
3/4 cup flaked coconut |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the sugar, flour, baking soda and salt. Add mandarin oranges and egg; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour into a greased 8-in. square baking pan. Bake at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter and milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until sugar is dissolved.
3. Remove from the heat; stir in coconut. Pour over warm cake. Broil 6 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until top is browned. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 9 servings.
