I really thought this would have more flavor. I found the cake soft and fluffy but, rather bland as well. The mandarin oranges really did not add much to the cake mix.

Not a fan of this recipe. The icing is good which is why I am giving it 3 stars. The oranges sunk to the bottom of the cake and seemed way too chunky for this cake. Really disappointed.

Perfect cake when you are looking for something not too sweet yet filled with flavor. Note to self: use 3/4 light juice from oranges to replace part of the water in cake mix, save a few oranges to decorate cake. Add oranges and nuts halfway through beating cake to break up oranges,

My friend made this for me on my birthday. I absolutely love it but I think it is more like a bread pudding. She added an egg to the3 cake mix and eliminated the water because of the juice in the madarin oranges. Do any of you find this same consistency. She expected more of a caky consistency.

This was a huge hit for 4th of July. However, because I was bringing it somewhere (and I imagine it isn't incredibly sturdy), I made it in a 13 x 9" pan. I also added 1/2 cup of coconut to the frosting.

I made this for my daughter birthday. It was a HUGE hit! I doubled the recipe and made 2 9X13 cakes and layered it. it only needed one batch of frosting. I did beat the oranges in with the mixer to break them up and instead of using water in the cake mix, I used the manadrin orange juice.

Excellent recipe. I forgot to pick up nuts at the store, but I don't think they were missed. Everyone raved about this cake. The frosting is light and delicious.

This was awesome! I had trouble with my layers cracking in two when I stacked them {because of all the filling in between layers} but it tasted so great no one cared. I will definately make this again. Maybe a sheet cake would work better. Thanks

Yum! Refreshing citrus flavor, not too overpowering, compliments the taste of yellow cake perfectly. The only thing I did that deviated from the recipe was to dust the cake with a bit of confectioner's sugar, strictly for presentation purposes.

I make this in a 9X13 pan and then frost the cake with the pudding/pineapple/whipped topping mixture. It is great after it's been refrigerated for a while.

Very good cake. I had so much filling and topping that I used a little and froze the rest. I added coconut and a tiny bit of rum extract and orange extract, too.
