How to Make Ambrosia Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine: 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 (11 oz) can mandarin oranges, drained, and 4 large eggs.
- Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium speed and beat for 2 minutes.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained, and 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix.
- Let the pudding mixture stand for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Gently fold in 8 oz Cool Whip.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, frost with the prepared pineapple-pudding mixture.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set.
