Citrus lover's dream: Orange cake with nutty crunch, citrus frosting, and mandarin garnish.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 0.5 cup orange juice
  • 0.33300000429153 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons grated orange zest
  • 1 (16 ounce) can prepared vanilla frosting
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 3 tablespoons grated orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prep two 9-inch pans by greasing and flouring them. Mix graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, walnuts, and butter together, then divide the mixture evenly between the pans. Let sit and move on to the next step.
  • Combine cake mix, water, orange juice, and oil in a medium bowl until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in orange zest. Evenly pour mixture over the crunch layer in the pans.
  • Place the cakes in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then flip onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting. Frost generously between layers, on top, and around the sides, then top with mandarin orange segments and refrigerate. Enjoy the delightful outcome!
  • In a medium bowl, whisk vanilla frosting until fluffy, then fold in whipped topping. Add orange and lemon zest, then spread the frosting over cooled cake layers.
