How to Make Pineapple Delight Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed is best!), and 3 large eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  3. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  5. While the cake cools, prepare the frosting: Drain 1/4 cup of juice from a 20 oz can of crushed pineapple, reserving the juice.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the drained pineapple, 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix, and 8 oz Cool Whip. Gently fold until combined.
  7. If the frosting seems too stiff, add a tablespoon or two of the reserved pineapple juice until desired consistency is reached.
  8. Once the cake is completely cool, frost generously with the pineapple frosting.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
