With this cake, this is a long story. I proposed you for another foodista challenge (check the French version to learn more about it) orange cake in jar. My best friend is a big fan of this cake. A really big fan. However she had troubles to make my orange cake, because she was using a single mold and not jars.
So I have decided to make another one and instead of orange, I used mandarin and one larger oven dish.
