TERRE HAUTE — I’m on the Burnsides Nursing Home Guild. We used to take some of the residents up to Paris, Ill., to meet with other patients and we always took dessert and drinks.
After an afternoon of games, we had a good fellowship time with dessert. We took this cake a lot. They really enjoyed it. It is a very easy and good cake. I revamped the frosting by adding pineapple.
Pineapple and
Mandarin Orange Cake
1 box white or yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 small can mandarin oranges, reserve juice
• Mix well.

TRIED 'N' TRUE: Serve this apple roll warm with whipped topping
I have revised this recipe to be a little bit easier for our times. You know how the old recipes were — butter the size of an egg, pinch and a dab (also my all-time favorite), add flour by the handful. This original apple recipe came from Gene’s aunt, Ginnie Myles. I add sweetener so Gene can enjoy these also.
