How to Make Gooey Mandarin Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Layer 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 cup mandarin orange segments (from about 1 can, drained). Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Layer 2: In a separate bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese until smooth. Add 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) softened unsalted butter. Beat until well combined.
- Gradually add 1 cup powdered sugar, mixing until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the mandarin cake layer.
- Topping: In a small bowl, combine ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts, ½ cup brown sugar, and ¼ cup all-purpose flour. Mix well.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Do not overbake; the center will remain slightly gooey.
- Let cool completely before cutting and serving.
