How to Make Pineapple Orange Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Lightly flour the greased pan.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional), 3 large eggs, and 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice. Beat on low speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour.
  7. While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, combine 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix, 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, and 1/2 cup cold milk.
  8. Beat with an electric mixer until thick and creamy.
  9. Gently fold in 1 cup well-drained crushed pineapple.
  10. Once the cake is completely cool, frost with the pineapple whipped cream frosting and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
