How to Make Orange Pineapple Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) white cake mix, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 3 large eggs, and one 11-oz can mandarin oranges, including their juice.
  3. Divide batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake.
  5. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. While cakes cool, prepare the icing: Drain one 20-oz can crushed pineapple, reserving the juice.
  7. In a large bowl, combine 16 oz Cool Whip, 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix, and the drained crushed pineapple.
  8. Once cakes are completely cool, brush each layer with a tablespoon of the reserved pineapple juice.
  9. Frost the layers with the pineapple Cool Whip mixture, and frost the entire cake.
