For the Cake
- 15.25 ounce Butter Golden cake mix 1 box mix
- ½ cup butter softened to room temperature
- 4 large eggs
- 11 ounces Mandarin oranges do not drain
Frosting
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple well drained
- 3.4 ounces Instant vanilla pudding 1 large packet
- 12 ounces whipped topping (Cool Topping) 1½ 8 ounce tubs
- Mandarin oranges drained, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Then grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl or in a stand mixer, add the cake mix, softened butter, 11-ounce can of mandarin oranges, and eggs. Blend this on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Evenly spread the batter in the prepared baking dish. Then bake the cake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. The top will be a deep golden brown.
- As the cake cools, prepare the frosting. First, combine the drained crushed pineapple with the instant vanilla pudding. This will be thick. Then, gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until it is thoroughly combined.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the frosting evenly across the top. Garnish with extra mandarin oranges if desired.Serve chilled. Then cover and refrigerate leftovers.
