Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large Eggs
- 11 ounces Mandarin oranges, canned (with juice)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Mandarin orange juice (fresh or from the canned mandarins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution.
Using a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter, beating well after each addition.
Pour in the mandarin oranges with their juice and add the vanilla extract. Mix gently until incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three batches, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
To make the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar and mandarin orange juice together in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the cake is fully cooled, pour the glaze evenly over the top, spreading it gently with a spatula if necessary.
Slice the cake into squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious Mandarin Cake 2!
