Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 and grease and flour three 8 or 9 inch cake pans. Mix cake mix, softened butter, eggs, and mandarin oranges (with juice) on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Distribute batter evenly between the 3 cake pans. Bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes. (Mine were done at 20.) Do not overbake! Let cakes cool in pans for about 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks.

While cake is cooling, combine pudding mix with crushed pineapple (with juice). Fold in Cool Whip. When cake is COMPLETELY cool, frost. Garnish with reserved mandarin oranges. Cover and place in refrigerator for several hours to overnight.
