This recipe is made with Mandarin Oranges but is not the 'traditional' mandarin orange cake that we all made 20 years ago. This is a one bowl cake and looks and tastes like a carrot cake. I was introduced to it in Florida and absolutely love it. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do! Note: there is no cinnamon in this cake, I have tried to add it and I didn't like the taste with the oranges. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 cups sugar |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
2 eggs |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
22 ounces mandarin orange segments, undrained |
1 cup walnuts, chopped |
8 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup butter |
1 lb confectioners' sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl with a wooden spoon. Pour into a prepared 13x9 baking pan or two 9 prepared baking pans. DO NOT USE A BUNDT PAN, it will be soggy in the middle.
2. Bake at 350* for 30-35 minutes. Cool well and frost.
3. To prepare frosting:.
4. Cream the cream cheese and butter. Add the powdered sugar gradually until light and fluffy. Add vanilla.
