Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Yellow cake mix
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Oil
- 1 15-ounce can Canned mandarin oranges (with juice)
- 1 3.4-ounce box Instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 20-ounce can Canned crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 1 8-ounce container Cool Whip (thawed)
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish or lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, oil, and the entire can of mandarin oranges (including the juice). Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until well combined and the oranges are broken up into small pieces. The batter will be slightly lumpy due to the oranges.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.
While the cake cools, prepare the frosting. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix, the entire can of crushed pineapple (including the juice), Cool Whip, and powdered sugar. Stir gently until everything is evenly mixed and smooth.
Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top. Make sure to cover the cake completely.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set.
Cut into squares, serve chilled, and enjoy this tropical dessert!
