Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
• In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the mandarin orange juice and zest, and milk.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
