7 ingredients
3 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 box of butter style yellow cake (Duncan Hines Preferable)
  • 1/3 cup of vegetable or canola oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 (11 or 15 oz) can of mandarin oranges, undrained
  • 1 (4 1/2 serving size) package of instant vanilla pudding
  • 1 (20 oz) can of crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 1 (16 oz) carton of whipped topping (Cool Whip preferable)

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter three 8 or 9 inch cake pans and flour or line with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. 2
    Add the cake mix, oil and eggs to the bowl of a mixer and mix on low until blended. Reserve a couple of the oranges for garnish if desired. Add the remaining oranges with their juice, blend in on low then mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Divide evenly into the three prepared cake pans and bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes back clean. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a cake rack to cool completely.
  3. 3
    Blend together the instant pudding and crushed pineapple; set aside for 5 minutes. Gently fold in the whipped topping and spread in between the layers, and frosting the sides and top of the cake. Garnish the top with a sprig of mint and the reserved orange segments, if desired. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Store any leftovers in the fridge
