No Fuss Mandarin Orange Cake w/ Vanilla Coconut Frosting
"There are a number of recipes out there for this cake but, frankly, I don't care for the pineapple-vanilla pudding frosting. Coconut is much more my style! Plus, the cake is moist enough without the pudding on top."

YUM! My daughter had a blast making this simple recipe! We only had 3 eggs in the house (and the box mix called for 3) so I measured the juice from the oranges and added 1/4 c. water to make up the difference. We made cupcakes, so I saved 12 orange segments for the tops to decorate (pretty and simple!). They turned out a pretty yellow-orange color and are super moist! I do not like canned store frosting- blech. So I frosted with Hybrid's Orange Buttercream #148069, using part cream cheese to cut the over-sweet factor. Do make this cake the day/evening prior to serving as the flavor really develops over time. Thanks MadCatKim- you get the birthday cake credits ;)
