Ingredients

  • Cake:
  • 1 yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 11 oz can mandarin oranges (with the juice)
  • Frosting:
  • 8 oz Cool Whip
  • 1 sm. can crushed pineapple (8 oz)
  • 1 sm. pkg vanilla instant pudding

Preparation

Step 1


To make the cake: Mix all ingredients together and bake at 350 for 35 minutes. (If using a 9×13 pan.)

If you make the cake in a bundt pan (rather than a 9X13), the cook time will be closer to 45 minutes.

Once the cake is cooled, mix the pineapple and pudding together. Let set for a few minutes until slightly thickened and then fold in the Cool Whip.

Spread on cake and keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Enjoy!

*Side note: Make sure (if using a bundt pan) that you spray the pan VERY well. It’s so disappointing to make the perfect cake and then have it get stuck in the pan and fall out in chunks! If it still doesn’t come out easily, you can use a knife to go around the edges (carefully!) to loosen the cake and help it come out in one gorgeous piece. Good luck!
