- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup oil
- 1 can 11 oz mandarin oranges with juice
For the topping:
- 1 can 20 oz crushed pineapple (drained)
- 1 box 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 container 8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Mix the Cake Batter
- In a bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil, and mandarin oranges with their juice.
- Beat until smooth and well mixed.
Bake the Cake
- Pour batter into the baking pan.
- Bake for 25–28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely.
Make the Topping
- In another bowl, mix drained pineapple, pudding mix, and whipped topping.
- Stir until smooth and creamy.
Frost the Cake
- Spread the pineapple topping over the cooled cake.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- Do not drain the mandarin oranges — their juice adds flavor and moisture.
- Chill the cake before serving for best texture.
- Add extra mandarin slices on top for decoration.
- Use cold whipped topping so the frosting stays thick.
- Add shredded coconut for a tropical twist.
