Orange Slice Cake in a Can

Remove mix from the can. Empty bag of mix into a medium bowl. Add 1 tablespoon water, 1 tablespoon oil and 1 egg. Mix well.

Remove any labels or decorations from can. Grease can well with some shortening or margarine on a paper towel. (Don't spray can with cooking spray as recipe will not work in a sprayed can.)

Spoon batter into can. Put can onto a cookie sheet and put into oven and bake for 32-35 minutes at 350 degrees F. Cake is done when a bamboo skewer placed in middle of cake comes out with no wet batter sticking to it. When cake is done, let it cool 15 minutes in the can. Run plain table knife around edge of cake to loosen it from the can. Shake can to allow cake to slide out.

To serve, cut cake into slices the desired thickness.
