Mandarin Orange Cream Cake 橘子鲜奶油蛋糕
Today I’m sharing with you this simple and easy recipe, Mandarin Orange Cream Cake that is full of orange fragrance. It is very suitable for birthday and home gathering. The sponge cake is very soft and moist and the recipe calls for very little flour and rice flour but more egg whites than yolks. What you need for the filling are mandarin oranges and fresh cream. You can also use strawberry or any other fresh fruits that you prefer and even pile the cake as high as you like. As I wanted to make a quick cake, I only sandwiched the mandarin oranges with 2 pieces of sponge cake. In total, you need only one and half hour or even less to complete the whole process of this yummy cake.

This cake is one of the most gorgeous things I have seen all day! I love it!
Hi Ann! Beautiful cake! Needless to say delicious! If I were to replace Mandarin oranges with strawberry what syrup do I have to use? Also, what is that plastic piece that you used to make design on the cake? Where to buy it? Thanks!
Ann, can I bake 1 tray at a time or do I have to bake both at the same time? Thanks
Ann, I don't have the baking trays in size 8x8x1.5". What size can I replace with? Thanks!
Thanks, Ann! I am looking for the trays. PH does not have them. They only have it in 1" height. Will continue for them. Appreciate you responding. Thanks!
Ai Li, The tray with 1" height can also be used.
Ann, forgot to let you know….this cake was a hit with my family although I couldn't do the wavy lines very well on top of the cake. Its good! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Ai Li, Yes, use peaches also nice. Better buy those can halve peaches, pat dry and slice into thick slices. Try to place the peaches as close as possible.
Hi Ai Li, you can use kirsch or grand marnier, or just omit it. The plastic piece is a scraper. Can get it at PH or Sunlik.
Ai Li, Is better to buy the correct size to bake this cake. If you use those 8 x 3" high cake tin, you'll take longer time to bake the cake and the texture will be different.
Yes Ai Li, stir the batter well and bake 1 tray at a time.
Thanks, Ann! I bought the scraper today but it is in stainless steel. Can I use peaches instead of mandarin oranges for this recipe? Will they be too big? I am thinking of making this for my husband's birthday and daughter cannot take oranges. Thanks!
Happy to hear that, Ai Li 😀
Ann, the cake is so pretty, totally look like store bought!
