Had this dessert in a restaurant in NC. Asked for the recipe and they told me it was Paula's. Can't wait to serve it to my friends. It was wonderful.

I love this recipe. I have been searching for different cake recipes to try out for what will eventually be my wedding cake ensemble of cakes. My fiance and I have picked out four different kinds and this is definitely a keeper. The only issue I had with this cake was the frosting recipe. I had to add more fresh tangerine juice to cut the sweetness and added the entire zest of one tangerine. It turned out great, the extra juice from the fresh tangerine and the added zest cut the sweetness just perfectly. I have yet to assemble the cake but after testing the batter and adding about 1 Tablespoon of Crystallized Ginger to the cake batter for some added flavor because that's what we wanted was a tangerine ginger cake and tasting the frosting after we tweaked it a bit I'm sure it will turn out fantastic once assembled completely. Thank you so much for the recipe! ^-^

You guys forgot to tell us non bakers where to put the eggs. Thankfully I figured it out and the cake is delicious. I decided to go with the 3cups of sugar in the frosting as I'm not really big on over sweetened frosting. All in all I'm so proud of myself and just love Mrs.Paula. I'm happy to report to my 15yr old son who asked " is that cake gonna be any good" lol, yes it was better than good, he thanks Mrs. Paula as well.
