Ingredients
Cake
1 box yellow cake mix
One 11-ounce can mandarin oranges, with juice
4 eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Frosting
One 16-ounce can crushed pineapple, drained
One 3.4-ounce package instant vanilla pudding mix
Two 8-ounce containers Cool Whip, or 1 quart heavy cream, whipped and sweetened with 1 cup sugar
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour three 8-inch round pans. Mix together the cake mix, the oranges with their juice, eggs, and oil. Divide the batter among the prepared pans; layers will be thin. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cake tests done. Cool the layers on wire racks.
Step 2
While the cake cools, make the frosting: Mix the drained pineapple with the pudding mix and fold this mixture into the Cool Whip. Fill and frost the cooled cake layers. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
