How to Make No Fuss Mandarin Orange Cake W Vanilla Coconut Frosting

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the mandarin orange juice, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the mandarin orange segments.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  8. For the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until smooth.
  9. Stir in the coconut milk and vanilla extract until well combined. Add more powdered sugar if needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. Frost the cooled cake and enjoy!
