Loved it. I had to take away one star from what was really a five star cake because I did have a problem with the recipe. Once all of the ingredients were mixed together, the batter was very, very thick and was so dry that I it did not resemble cake batter. So, I added soy milk until it turned into a batter (maybe 1/4 of a cup, could have been more). I was very surprised that we couldn't taste the mandarin oranges at all. Next time I would add some walnuts. I dusted the top with powdered sugar and served to guests. It got rave reviews. I would make this again for sure. Great ingredients for serving around the winter holidays. Thanks for posting.
