MANDARIN ORANGE CAKE
This was a favorite cake growing up. The middle gets sunken, all good from the topping sinking into it. You may wnat to double the topping so you can pour extra over the edge pieces of the cake, they don't seem to get as much of the topping sinking in as it all flows to the middle of the cake.

Beat in remaining flour mixture.

Gently spoon batter on top of mandarins, and spread evenly. Bake cake until golden brown and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool in pan on wire rack.

- 1. Preheat oven 350 and grease two cake pans. Add all ingredients for cake and blend. Pour into pans and bake. Bake at 350 degrees according to the box directions for the cake. For icing, combine the cool whip, pineapple and pudding powder. Note: I put as much juice from pineapple to give it a good consistency. Not runney. Stir gently. After your cakes cool, ice between each later and then the whole cake. There's a lot of icing, so be generous. Cool cake in fridge before serving.

PINEAPPLE MANDARIN ORANGE DUMP CAKE
I was craving a dump cake and searched my pantry to see what I had on hand. I always have pineapple and mandarin oranges. Usually, I have yellow cake mix, but I only had a pineapple one. I decided it would be a Hawaiian dump cake with all the flavors I love...pineapple, orange, and coconut. yumm I make a blackberry version too....

Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9"x13" baking dish with cooking spray. Combine the crushed pineapple, mandarin oranges, cornstarch, salt, and sugar in the pan. Mix well and sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over fruit. Melt butter in microwave and pour evenly over cake mix. Sprinkle with coconut and nuts if desired.
- 2. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until light golden brown. You want it to get bubbly around the edges, so cover it with foil before it gets too brown. Let stand for 10-15 minutes and serve warm or cool with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
- 3. Variation: Blackberry - I mix 3 bags (12 oz each) of frozen blackberries with 3/4 to 1 cup sugar (to your taste) with a dash of salt and 2 Tbl cornstarch mixed with 1/2 cup cold water..then proceed as above with the cake mix, butter, coconut and nuts. Bake as above. Enjoy a delicious cobbler type dessert without all the work.
- 4. ** If you wish to make this a low sugar dessert, use sugar free yellow cake mix and replace all sugar with Stevia in the Raw and a little Agave nectar. I personally like to use a combo of SF sweeteners for better flavor, so add a little coconut sugar or brown sugar. The addition of 1/4 cup makes the flavor better and when the cake is divided into 12-15 servings, it doesn't seem to spike my blood sugars.

- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
- Don't open the oven door while the cake is baking: This can cause the cake to fall.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly and prevent it from sliding off the cake.
