Mandarin Orange Cake II

By: Denise Fox

"Yellow cake with mandarin oranges in the batter. Moist and memorable. Everyone will LOVE it. Fill with a nice Italian Meringue butter cream icing or whipped cream and layer drained mandarin oranges on top of filling. Frost cake with whatever you used for the filling."
