How to Make Ambrosia Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup of mandarin orange segments, drained.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 47 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the squares cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy!
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for extra sweetness and visual appeal.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
