Ingredients
Cake:
- Vanilla or white boxed cake mix + required ingredients in directions
- 5 Juicy Crunch tangerines, peeled and sliced
- 1 Juicy Crunch tangerine - for juice and zest
Crumble topping:
- 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
Whipped Cream:
- 1/2 cup cold heavy cream
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Preparation
- Preheat oven according to cake mix instructions.
- Butter two 8-inch cake pans (or one 9x13), including the bottom and sides of the pan. Spray with nonstick spray for a little extra non-stick insurance.
- Place the tangerine slices on the bottom of the pan(s).
- Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions.
- Zest and squeeze juice of one Juicy Crunch tangerine and add it to the batter. Mix well.
- Pour the cake batter over the tangerine slices, and spread evenly.
- To make the crumble layer - Melt the butter in a small bowl, then stir in the remaining crumble ingredients.
- Sprinkle on the crumble on the cake batter.
- Bake according to the cake mix directions. You may need to add a few minutes due to the tangerine slices. Test with a cake tester or toothpick to make sure it's done.
- Let cake cool for at least 10 minutes before you invert onto a serving plate.
- To make the whipped cream - Using COLD heavy cream add ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix on medium high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Don't keep mixing once it's done.
- Serve slices of your Upside Down Juicy Crunch Cake topped with fresh whipped cream and a little extra tangerine zest and a nice glass of Florida Milk!
- Enjoy!
