Spring Fling Cake

"This cake tastes light and airy and does not over-whelm the taste buds. I bet you can't eat just one piece! I got this recipe from my grandma and I am not sure about where it originally came from. This cake was a staple for my grandma to make for any holiday or family get-together. It is a delightful change from the ordinary."

  1. I LOVE THIS CAKE ~ What with the mandarin oranges in the cake itself & the crushed pineapple in the frosting, IT'S GREAT! I wanted to keep this right here at home, but with all the baking I've been doing for PAC, I allowed my other half to share it 2/3 of it with co-workers, & I understand that it was gone in no time! Thanks for a wonderful keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in the current Pick A Chef]

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am new to the stay-at-home mom thing. So I am finding that I have some time to cook now. My husband usually does all the cooking and he is verry good at it, I am still learning if you know what I mean. I enjoy bakeing goodies more than main dishes. I have recently started to take pictures of my husbands and my own cooking creations as well as typeing up the reciepies to place in our personal cookbook. I find recipe zaar helpfull when I am looking for Ideas for supper. I look through recipies for inspiration, then just start cooking, giving things my own take.
