MANDARIN ORANGE CREAM CHEESE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake cake as directed on package using 2 round metal cake pans (33-36 minutes).
• Transfer cakes to cooling racks until you feel no heat when you put your palm over them.
• Spread mandarin oranges on a plate covered with paper towel and allow juices to run off.
• Use a round, decorative platter or cake stand, if desired.
• I recommend laying strips of wax paper along the outer rim of the platter before laying down the first layer of cake. This makes for a sharp presentation! Do not lay an entire sheet under the cake. It will become trapped and might fall apart, leaving bits of wax paper behind.
• Set the first layer of cake in the center of the platter. Open the can of frosting and stir until fluffy and easy to spread.
• Using a rubber frosting spatula or butter knife, spread frosting over the top of the first layer.
• If using one can of oranges, separate one third of the oranges (if using two cans, use ONE can for this step and leave oranges WHOLE). Quickly chop each orange into two or three pieces. Spread chopped oranges over the top of the frosted cake. It does not have to look perfect, but try to ensure each slice will have oranges in the middle.
• Carefully lay the second cake layer over the mandarin oranges and center over the first layer.
• Spread the rest of the cream cheese frosting over the top and down the sides until all traces of cake are hidden.
• Smooth down the frosting on the top so the oranges will lay flat.
• When you are happy with the frosting's appearance, carefully lay out the remainder of the whole mandarin oranges in a circular pattern. Do not chop these oranges!
• Starting with the outer edge of the cake, place oranges at even spaces. Turn the plate as you go to rotate the cake.
• If the spacing seems off, carefully pick up the misplaced orange and rearrange.
• If you have enough left, make an additional inner ring of oranges.
• Design Tip: do not center the inner ring between the outer ring and the cake's center. This would make a bullseye effect. Instead, lay them closer to the outside ring or nearer the cake's center.
• Leave behind 3-5 oranges to make a "flower" in the center of the cake. Simply place them so one end of each orange is centered and touching the others. It will look like a flower when done.
• Carefully remove wax paper and discard.
• Refrigerate cake until you are ready to serve. It tastes best cool or cold.

MANDARIN ORANGE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• To make cake layer, combine flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
• Cream together butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a medium bowl. Add dry ingredients to the butter and mix well. Mix in milk, vanilla and 1 egg. Pour into a well-greased 9" springform pan (or line it with parchment paper). Slam pan down on the counter a few times to even out the batter.
• Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 15 minutes or until the cake is light brown on top.
• For the cream cheese layer, combine gelatin with 3/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl. Add boiling water and stir until gelatin is dissolved. Set this aside.
• Prepare Dream Whip by whipping together 1 envelope of Dream Whip and 1/2 cup milk with an electric mixer in another medium bowl. Whip it good until the topping makes stiff peaks.
• In another bowl, whip the cream cheese with vanilla, orange extract, lemon juice and food coloring in a large bowl until smooth. Slowly add the gelatin mixture while beating. Add half (about 1 cup) of the Dream Whip to the cream cheese mixture and beat until smooth. Pour this mixture over the cake layer in the springform pan. Chill for 2 hours or until firm.
• Pour all liquid except 1/2 cup from the cans of mandarin oranges wedges. Heat the 1/2 cup liquid in the microwave on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until hot. Dissolve 1 tsp unflavored gelatin in the liquid. Combine liquid with orange wedges and pour over the top of the firmed-up cheesecake that's still in the springform pan. Chill the cake for at least 2 more hours.
• For the crunchy nut crust, combine 1 Tbs water with 2 Tbs sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. When sugar is dissolved and liquid begins to boil, add the hazelnuts and stir until nuts are well coated. Stir often until the water has cooked off, then continue to stir until the sugar begins to caramelize and turn light brown. Be careful not to burn the nuts. The nuts are done when they are light brown and glazed with candied sugar. Pour the nuts onto a plate and let them cool completely. When the candied nuts are cool, chop them up in a food processor until they are the consistency of crumbs.
• Make the icing by combining shortening with powdered sugar, milk and vanilla.
• When mandarin orange gelatin has firmed up on top of the cake, remove the cake from the springform pan. Use a spatula to spread the icing around the edge of the cake. Press the hazelnut crumbs onto the icing around the edge of the cake (you've got more than enough hazelnut crumbs and much of it will fall off as you press it on the sides). Chill the cake for at least another hour before serving. To serve, cut cake into 8 slices.
