Mandarin Orange Cake

2 eggs
2 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, well drained
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Beat eggs; add oranges and dry ingredients. Beat 4 minutes with electric mixer on slow speed until oranges flake through the batter. Pour into greased 13 x 9-inch cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes. Cake will get quite dark.

Before removing from oven, press top with fingertip to see if it bounces back. If it doesn't, bake a bit longer, taking care it doesn't burn. Remove cake from oven. Pour topping over. Return cake to oven and bake 5 minutes longer.

Topping:
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons butter or margarine

Combine and bring to a rolling boil.
