Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1 can (15 oz) mandarin oranges in light syrup
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan. Combine cake mix, entire can of mandarin oranges with syrup, eggs, and oil in a large bowl. Beat 2 minutes on medium speed.
  2. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake 32 to 35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Cool cake completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 45 minutes.
  4. Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar, cut into squares, and serve.

Notes

If you prefer a glaze, reserve a few tablespoons of mandarin liquid from the can before mixing, then whisk 1 cup powdered sugar with enough reserved liquid to reach a thick, pourable consistency. Wait until the cake is fully cooled before drizzling.
