Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 4 eggs
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 15 oz (canned) mandarin oranges with juice
- 8 oz whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
- 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup coconut flakes
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and the entire can of mandarin oranges (including the juice).
Step 3
Mix the ingredients using an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, or until well combined and smooth. The mandarin oranges will break up into smaller pieces during mixing.
Step 4
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 6
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
Step 7
While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the thawed whipped topping, instant vanilla pudding mix, and coconut flakes.
Step 8
Mix gently until the frosting is smooth and the coconut is evenly distributed.
Step 9
Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the vanilla coconut frosting evenly over the top.
Step 10
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the frosting to set.
Step 11
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your easy and delicious mandarin orange cake!
