Coconut Mandarin Orange Bunt Cake

This recipe came to me when Mandarin Oranges were on sale, and I knew I still had some coconut left over from another recipe, and I didnt want to let that go to waste. I went on the internet, and found about 30 recipes for this cake. They were all similar. Most called for making the cake from scratch, which I did end up doing, but a box cake mix would have worked as well. I loved the combo of the citris with the tropical. It gave me a bit of sunshine, on an otherwise gloomy December day.

preheat oven to 350
ingredients:
1 box instant cake mix
1/2 cup canola oil
2 10 0z cans mandarin oranges drained and diced into small pieces
3 eggs

grease bunt pan or 8 inch square bake pan

mix all ingredients well and pour into pan
bake according to cake box instruction
making sure the fork comes out clean when inserted to check if cake is thoroughly cooked
for glaze
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp milk
3 tbsp butter
1/2 cup flaked coconut

in a medium saucepan bring sugar, milk and butter to a boil and stir in coconut
while still hot, pour over cake as it comes out of oven
mix all ingredients in bowl
