This recipe came from the Foodnetwork...Paula Deen, my goal is to take easy, simple recipe tweak them and make them my own...This recipe got tweaked on its own lol due to ingredients that I didn't have...lol


The recipe asked for 1 c of vegetable oil, I had 1/2 c soooo I used 1/2 c oil and 1/2 c butter, it worked...it asked for tangerine zest well I couldn't find any tangerines sooo I used orange zest...I did use tangerine juice fyi...very expensive.
