Canned Mandarin Segment Cake Anyone? HELP!

 

Okay this is an odd one... way back in my memory.. I remember a cake (ice box cake.. I think) that used those tinned mandarin segments.  I am pretty sure they were folded into whipped cream and used as a topping for the cake...

anyone know of this recipe?  I think it's 1970's?

Try www.allrecipes.com      It works for me every time.

You can try the extensive search where you put in certain key ingredients - that might help too.

That's a Pig Pickin' cake!

I knew a southern girl would know what it was!

 

Now..

what does one use as a UK sub for Instant vanilla pudding?

I don't know a sub but I will send you a box of it if you like?


you and your vanilla pud fetishes.......

Yep...cake is a whole food group for me!  

I don't know it it'd work for this recipe, but one of Nigella's recipes calls for custard powder in a cake and filling and it worked just fine for that.
