You may have had a Pig Lickin' cake or a mandarin orange cake, but these small dessert Orange Sunrise shooters are a deconstructed version of that classic. Fluffy cake, pineapple whip cream, and mandarin orange segments make a great dessert for Summer!
2cupswhipped creamyou can make your own or you can use frozen
Garnish
two 15 ounce cans Mandarin orange segments
Instructions
Bake the cake first
Preheat oven to 375F.
Mix all the ingredients for the cake (mix, pudding, eggs, water, and oil) and pour into a 9X13 pan.
Bake at 375F for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool.
Prepare the whipped topping
While the cake is cooling, mix the pineapple with the whipped cream or whipped topping.
Store in the fridge until ready to use.
Assemble your Orange Sunrise Shooters
Drain the mandarin orange segments.
When ready to assemble, gather your shooter glasses and ingredients.
With your shooter glasses, cut out 24 cake circles. I like that the shot glasses make great cutters and you know that they will fit in the glasses afterward.
Layer 1 cake circle in the bottom of the glass.
Top with 2 orange segments.
Add a touch (about 3/4 tablespoon) of whipped topping.
Make another layer of cake, oranges, and whipped topping.
Garnish with another orange segment.
Assemble the remaining shooters until all done.
