Thanks for this recipe! My oldest son loves citrus and wanted his birthday cake this year to be citrus-y;-) You are getting me out of a "lemon-bar cake" =P Sounds delicious! I'm glad I read the comments; I'm going to try to get it made the day before so I can refrigerate overnight. Seems like a perfect choice for a hot-summer's birthday!

I enjoyed this delicious cake at Publix Cooking School's recent "Evening with Paula" in Jacksonville, FL. Any tips on how to squeeze tangerines or did you purchase fresh juice at your Grocer's produce section?

I didn't have any tangerines, so I used oranges instead and it was FABULOUS and soo easy! I've had many compliments on this cake. I think it's best cold from the fridge (brings out the orange/tangerine flavor).

I made this cake on Jan 3 2010 it was so easy and it was wonderful. Everyone that ate loved it,as did i;while it only lasted a couple of days it stayed moist and fresh the entire time. I've already been asked to make it for a baby shower.
