Notes
Do not drain oranges or pineapple used in the cake or icing because the juice makes this cake so moist and delicious
Defrost whipped topping in the refrigerator before using - I try to move cool whip from the freezer to the fridge 12 to 24 hours before making the recipe
Allow cake to cool so that the whipped topping doesn't get runny
If garnishing with oranges I only use drained oranges for decorative purposes
This recipe can also be made with 3 greased and floured round pans lined with wax paper
