Excellent cake! Very different from any other mandarin orange cake I've had. This would be a great cake to bring to a potluck. It has a gooey, caramelly taste and is rich and filling. Quite wonderful. A real winner! Note: I used two small cans (11 oz. size) of mandarin oranges, drained, which measured 2 cups once drained.

This is a very different cake that my family quite enjoyed. It is very sweet, with a dense texture, and a wicked brown sugar glaze on top that adds to the sweet decadence. My tins of oranges were 10-oz in size and I believe some extra orange segments would have been a good thing, as would some grated orange zest. This cake is also a snap to prepare. Erin, I took your advice and made a little extra glaze (1 c b.sugar, 1/4 c milk, 2 tbsp + 2 tsp butter) and that amount seemed perfect.

I was going to add my recipie for Mandarin Cake to Zaar, but you've already done it. My ingredients are halved and use an 8x8 pan and my topping uses 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 tbsp milk and butter. That's the only difference. I got the recipie about 25-30 years ago, from DH's Aunt Mil, who'd got it from a co-worker at a pot-luck. It's been one of my favorite recipies over the years. It's gone to innumerable pot-lucks and it's one of DH's favorites.
