A few years ago my friend GS baked this cake for a church potluck. It was a big hit and everyone asked her for the recipe. I made it again last week for a school potluck and the same thing happened. 
I whipped up The Sunshine Cake yesterday for our Easter Dinner. This is one of those cakes that tastes better after it sits in the refrigerator for awhile. As you can see- we decided not to wait until Easter. I wanted a good picture and before we gave some to our neighbor it needed a taste test. Right?It is very easy to make, tastes wonderful, and lasts in the frig.

1 stick butter or ½ cup oil
11 oz. can mandarin oranges with juice ( you can cut up the oranges if desired)

Bundt pan for 45-50 min

Put on cake when cool. Refrigerate.
I had extra mandarin oranges and added them to the icing also.
Sounds wonderful. :) We had strawberries and bananas with ganache--apparently I've gone past Easter and am now on 4th of July? Happy Easter!
