PIG PICKIN' CAKE

Categories     dessert

Time 3h55m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick baking spray, for the pan
One 18.25-ounce box yellow cake mix
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
One 23.5-ounce jar mandarin oranges, drained and 1/2 cup juice reserved
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 cups chilled heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
One 20-ounce can crushed pineapple, drained

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch cake pan with baking spray.
  • Combine the cake mix, butter, vanilla, eggs and 1/2 cup reserved mandarin juice in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat for 4 minutes on medium-high speed. Add 1 1/2 cups of the drained orange slices and beat again until the oranges have broken into small pieces, about 1 minute. Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan and bake until golden brown and set, 25 to 27 minutes. Allow to cool completely, then turn out onto a large platter.
  • For the topping: Cream together the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the mixture to a small bowl. Add the cream and vanilla to the stand mixer bowl and switch to the whisk attachment, then whip until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Add the cream cheese mixture, distributing it evenly around the bowl. Whip until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Fold in the pineapple.
  • Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Garnish with the remaining mandarin orange slices.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Fresh and ripe bananas, creamy butter, and pure vanilla extract will make a big difference in the final product.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the cake, making it light and tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the cake from curdling.
  • Fold in the mashed bananas and chopped nuts. Be careful not to overmix, or the cake will be tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time will vary depending on the size and shape of the cake pan.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Pig picking cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for potlucks, picnics, and other gatherings. With a few simple tips, you can make a pig picking cake that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try.
