Citrus Angel Food Cake

A delightful and light angel food cake infused with the refreshing flavors of citrus, topped with mandarin oranges and a fluffy Cool Whip frosting.

Ingredients

1	(18 ounce) box angel food cake mix
15	mandarin oranges
1	tablespoon orange zest
16	Cool Whip

Instructions

• 1. Begin by incorporating the freshly squeezed juice from the mandarin oranges and the fragrant orange zest into the angel food cake mix.
  2. Gently stir the ingredients together until well combined.
  3. Transfer the batter into a bundt pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 30 minutes until the cake is golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting with Cool Whip and garnishing with the luscious mandarin oranges.
  5. For added citrus zest, consider including 3 tablespoons of fresh orange zest according to personal preference. Additionally, you may experiment by incorporating half of the can of mandarin oranges into the batter before baking, although this may impact the cake's release from the pan. Alternatively, simply adorn the cake with the mandarin oranges post-baking for an equally delightful presentation.
