Loved this. So light and fluffy, and not too sweet.

this is delish! I made it 3 times in 3 weeks for 3 diff. groups and all wanted the recipe. I used lemon pudding and added 3 oz of cream cheese to the frosting. Thanks for my new favorite recipe.

Absolutely wonderful! As a point of clarification, I "beat" the batter with the mandarin oranges on a low setting, which broke up and dispersed the oranges. Assuming that is what was intended, but it wasn't noted in the recipe.

Childhood all-time favorite! My grandmother used to make this for me on my birthday every year. Her original recipe did not include sour cream, but it only adds to the moistness of the cake. This is almost an heirloom recipe because of the multitude of compliments and cherished memories I have of it!

Yum! This is a moist cake. I really could not taste the oranges, just the lemon and the pineapple. The frosting at first tasted a bit grainy, but I just kept mixing it and it was better. I did add toasted coconut on top. Thank you for the refreshing dessert.

Super yummy! I did use 1 cup of Mexican style Sour Cream( milder,tastes like cream cheese) and I mixed cake mix, sour cream, and eggs before I added the mandarin oranges. Tastes best when it is ice cold.

I would say I loved the frosting but the cake could of been a bit more moist it tasted spongy the way its stated also I would wait to put the mandarin oranges in till last just stir the juice in first ...But all and all I liked it I would make this for something like a potluck .

This is an awesome cake- so light, and refreshing. Its a nice break from the traditional. I served this at a family BBQ, and it was a hit!

The cake was more dense than I anticipated, but people seemed to like it. I served it to 14 people, got several compliments, but there were a few unfinished pieces and no one asked for the recipe - which is a sure sign of a great recipe. I might make this again, I haven't decided.
