Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 11 ounces mandarin oranges (with juice)
- 4 eggs
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 1 box (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 12 ounces whipped topping (thawed)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish or three 9-inch round cake pans.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, mandarin oranges (including the juice), eggs, and vegetable oil.
Step 3
Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients on medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until well combined and smooth.
Step 4
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or evenly divide it among the cake pans.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes (or 20-25 minutes if using round pans), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pans before transferring to wire racks (if using round pans).
Step 7
To make the frosting, combine the crushed pineapple (with juice) and instant vanilla pudding mix in a large bowl. Stir until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
Step 8
Fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated and fluffy.
Step 9
Once the cake is completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top and sides (if layered).
Step 10
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the frosting to set and the flavors to meld.
Step 11
Cut into slices and serve chilled. Enjoy!
