How to Make Miss Minda's Super Sunshine Cake

  1. Preheat oven to the temperature specified on your box cake mix.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) of your favorite yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 3 large eggs, and 1 (11 ounce) can of mandarin oranges, drained.
  3. Pour batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan.
  4. Bake according to the time specified on the cake mix box (usually around 30-35 minutes). Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, it's done.
  5. Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. While the cake cools, in a separate bowl, whip together 8 ounces of Cool Whip with 3.4 ounces of instant vanilla pudding mix until smooth and creamy.
  7. Add 1 (20 ounce) can of crushed pineapple, including its juice, to the Cool Whip mixture and gently fold to combine.
  8. Once the cake is completely cool, frost generously with the pineapple Cool Whip mixture.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
