Pig Pickin' Cake a.k.a. Mandarin Orange Cake

Pig Pickin' Cake a.k.a. Mandarin Orange Cake was pinched from <a href="http://baking.about.com/od/cakemixcake1/r/pigpickinmandar.htm" target="_blank">baking.about.com.</a>

"Thank you for the many insightful emails and comments I've gotten about this cake. Several people wrote to tell me that they know this as an orange cake. Danenew32 called it a Florida Sunshine Cake. The majority of the emails dealt with my incorrect supposition that "Pig-Pickin'" had to do with how people acted when they ate the cake. While most agreed that yes, that's how one could act while eating this very moist cake, but the name actually refers to a southern barbecue or a.k.a. a Pig Pickin'.
