Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 | cups sugar |
| 2 | cups flour |
| 2 | tsp baking soda |
| 1/2 | tsp salt |
| 2 | eggs |
| 2 | cans mandarin oranges (drained) |
| 3/4 | cup brown sugar |
| 3 | tbsp milk |
| 2 | tbsp butter |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
-
Prepare Batter: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Add the drained mandarin oranges and dry ingredients: sugar, flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat on low speed until well combined.
-
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Make Topping: While the cake is baking, prepare the topping. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, milk, and butter. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
-
Add Topping: As soon as the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and pour the hot topping evenly over the surface of the cake. The topping will sink into the middle, creating a deliciously moist center.
-
Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. Serve slices with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat!
This Mandarin Orange Cake is perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to special celebrations. Its simple preparation and irresistible flavor make it a hit with both kids and adults alike. Enjoy the sweet citrusy goodness with every bite!
