My mom makes a very similar cake but she uses crushed pineapple and it is amazing. The cake is super moist and packed with flavor. However, some of my kids don’t like pineapple so we decided to try out an orange cake and see what happens. The results is a really moist cake that is packed with with the delicious mandarin flavor.
