Notes
- Preheat your oven before starting to make the cake, as it takes 10 minutes to mix together and the batter is ready.
- One bowl and one whisk is all you need--don't try to aim for a smooth batter. Lumps are encouraged.
- The amount of orange zest is up t you--feel free to double it for maximum flavor!
- Use any type of citrus you'd like or even a combo of.
- The cake is baked in an 8 inch square pan, however you can bake it an 8-9 inch circle pan as well.
- You may also double the ingredients for a layered cake.
- Feel free to add in nuts, coconut or any of your favorite cake additions.
- This cake stays moist for days because of the yogurt, oil and eggs ratio. Just cover it well and keep it at room temperature.
- A similar variety of this cake is called Pig Pickin' Cake--which involves a pineapple frosting.
- It's a Southern classic which is often also called Mandarin orange cake, and it's mainly served with pig roasts. It's served with pineapple frosting for a refreshing twist to the orange.
- Mandarins are slightly wider than clementines and easier to peel. Their flavors are similar, and both are available all winter long.
