A light and moist blender cake infused with sweet mandarin oranges, perfect for quick desserts and satisfying citrus lovers with minimal effort.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put sugar, flour, soda, egg, and drained mandarin oranges into the blender.
- Blend on high until well mixed.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Bake at 350°F until done, about 30 minutes.
- Ice while hot.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using cake flour instead of all-purpose flour. You can also substitute the mandarin oranges with crushed pineapple for a different flavor profile. If you're looking to reduce sugar, try using a sugar substitute or reducing the amount slightly. Make sure to blend until smooth to avoid lumps for a uniform cake.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Blender Cake warm, topped with a simple glaze or icing for extra sweetness. It pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a fun twist, try drizzling it with Vanilla Sauce(Sissy'S Sauce For Mama'S Bread Pudding). This cake also makes a delightful addition to brunch alongside Easy Heavenly Hash.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh oranges instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh oranges; just ensure they are peeled and segmented. However, you will need to add some additional juice or sugar to match the sweetness and moisture of the canned oranges.
How do I know when the cake is done baking?
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached, the cake is done. If there's wet batter on the toothpick, bake for a few more minutes.
Can I freeze the Blender Cake?
Yes, you can freeze the Blender Cake. Allow it to cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before placing it in the freezer. It should keep well for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
