How to Make Luscious Mandarin Orange Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease the bottom only of a 13x9 inch baking pan, or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine cake mix, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup chopped walnuts, 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin orange segments, drained, and 3 large eggs.
- Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium speed and beat for 2 minutes.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan for about 1 hour.
- To make the pineapple frosting: In a medium bowl, combine 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained, 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix, and 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest.
- Gently fold in 1 (8 ounce) container of whipped topping.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
