How to Make Mom's Better Than Sex Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) of your favorite yellow cake mix, 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and the juice of 2 large oranges.
- Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Gently fold in the zest of 1 orange and the segments of 2 oranges (reserve some segments for garnish).
- Divide batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
- While cakes cool, prepare the frosting: In a large bowl, whip 16 oz container of frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip) until smooth. Add 3.4 oz package of instant vanilla pudding mix and beat until combined.
- Stir in 1 cup of crushed pineapple and 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice. Adjust sweetness as needed.
- Once cakes are completely cool, frost the layers and top of the cake generously. Garnish with reserved orange segments and extra crushed pineapple (optional).
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
