Considering it is winter here in Texas, I have been dreaming of the tropics. The warm sun and citrus flavors are calling my name. When I sat down to think about what flavors would make for a great tropical treat, I decided that juicy Halo Mandarins and pineapple would be perfect. Working off another cake that is a family favorite, I decided to make a Mandarin Orange Pineapple Cake. And it was delicious.
