  • 2 cups mandarin oranges, peeled and segmented

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
