Aloha Cake

By á-9182

Moist and bursting with tropical flavor! I wanted to call it “Maui Wowee” but I think that’s an illegal substance. Although it might have been interesting to see how many pot-heads hit on Tasty Kitchen in their online searching. Just sayin’.

Preparation

Step 1

Mix cake mix, oil, eggs, mandarin oranges and vanilla together in mixer. Beat a couple of minutes until well-blended. The oranges will break up into tiny bits during this process.

Pour into a greased 9×13 pan and bake 30-35 minutes at 350F. (You may also bake in a jellyroll pan, 15 minutes at 350F.)

It will be golden brown across the top and a toothpick will come out clean when done. Let cool completely before frosting.

FROSTING:

Beat the coconut pudding and pineapple together a couple of minutes until thick. Fold in the Cool Whip.

Spread over the cooled cake and refrigerate. Serve cold.
