I like to doctor up cake mixes. The mandarin orange keeps the cake moist and flavorful. This cake would be great for any occasion. Easter right around the corner. This would be a great dessert on any table.
Well my friends, I have a few people asking me when I am going in the kitchen and make dinner. I have some hungry folks on my hands. I think tonight will be clean out the refrigerator. I have some leftovers that need to be eaten before they go bad.

ReplyDeleteGood morning, I just made a version of that cake as well. It is so good. Thanks for visiting @ Moms Sunday Cafe.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I like my cake with a bit of fruit. It makes it moist and tasty.
ReplyDeleteI prefer orange flavors over lemon and lime any day so this cake is perfect for me - is that candied orange peel - did you mention that and I missed it?
ReplyDeleteThis cake looks so moist, and I love the light orange flavor. This is perfect for Spring or Mother's Day!

ReplyDeleteHi doggybloggy,
ReplyDeleteThe orange peel on top is just plain orange peel but I prefer to use the candied. Thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeletehow delightful, and fresh.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine! I love mandarin oranges and wow this recipe is so easy! Even I'm not a baker, I think I can make this. My daughter LOVES mandarin oranges so we always have them at home. Thank you for sharing. I like how you put the zest on top. It's pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love orange flavored desserts and this cake looks so moist, lovely :)
ReplyDeletedelicious looking cheesecake orange flavour sounds good
ReplyDeleteI'm making this cake right now for our Mother's Day celebration! I adore mandarin oranges and with a cake mix it makes this a pretty easy-to-whip-up dessert idea.
ReplyDeleteI made this yesterday for Mother's Day and it was a hit. The only change I made was that I used a lemon cake mix (I didn't have a vanilla mix and thought that the lemon would add more citrus flavour anyway). It was great! I also used an Orange Cream Cheese icing to top it all off. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
