Episode 15: Mandarin Orange Cake



In today's episode I am making Mandarin Orange Cake. It is really simple, really good, and frugal!

I have made this cake before but after filming it for this show I thought it had a little too much sugary glaze. Next time I make it I am cutting the glaze in half so the cake isn't too sugary! Just thought I would pass that on to you!

I hope you enjoy this little dessert!
