Ingredients

The Cake

  • 1 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 3/4 cup White Sugar
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Mandarin Orange Juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 cup Milk we use 2%!
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp Mandarin Orange Zest
  • 1 cup Blueberries

The Glaze

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp Cream
  • 1 tsp Mandarin Orange Zest or more, if desired!

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300 F / 150 C.
  • In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients. Mix.
  • Next, add all of the wet ingredients (no blueberries yet!). Mix until combined.
  • Method 1: Add in the blueberries and pour the cake batter in a greased 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish.
  • Method 2: Add 1/3 of the cake batter to a greased 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish, then place 1/2 cup blueberries. Repeat. Finally, top with the remaining 1/3 cake batter. This reduces how much the blueberries sink!
  • Bake the cake at 300 F / 150 C for 45 minutes.
  • Once the cake has baked and cooled, make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, cream, and mandarin orange zest.
  • Pour the glaze over the top of the cake or spoon some onto each pre-cut piece.
  • Enjoy!
