Mandarin Orange Cake With Frosting

This recipe came from an Evergreen Bank Cookbook. This is a great light dessert. It tastes like summer or spring to me. It is a great kid pleaser as well. I bet these would make great cupcakes too.

This cake is so good. Light and fluffy and a great taste. I used unsweetened applesauce. Even the frosting is yummy. Me, my mom, my son loved it. DH a bit less because of the frosting but he's not the type who likes frosting. Thanks Ceezie. This is one of the best cake I made with a cake mix. Made for Please Review My Recipe.Reply
