Description

A delightful and versatile Mandarin Orange Pineapple Cake that comes together in about 30 minutes, perfect for summer treats!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box Duncan Hines Butter Cake Mix
  • 1/2 cup Wesson Oil
  • 1 can (11 oz) Mandarin Oranges, juice included
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 tub (12 oz) Cool Whip
  • 1 small Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
  • 1 can (16 oz) Crushed Pineapple

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 9-inch cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, oil, mandarin oranges (with juice), sugar, and eggs. Mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.
  3. Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  5. Drain the crushed pineapple, saving the juice. In a bowl, mix the pineapple and instant pudding mix, then fold in the Cool Whip.
  6. Once cooled, layer the pineapple mixture between the cakes, and cover the top and sides with the remaining frosting.
  7. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
