Ingredients

1 box yellow butter cake mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
11 ounce can mandarin oranges, undrained equals about 1 cup
1 container whipped topping
1 large can crushed pineapple in natural juices
1 large package instant vanilla pudding
mandarin oranges, drained for garnish optional

Instructions

Spray non-stick cooking spray on a 13 x 9 inch baking pan and preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Combine cake mix, eggs, oil and 1 can of mandarin oranges and mix well. Make for 25 - 30 minutes until set. Let cool.
Combine whipped topping, pudding mix and pineapple, stir well. Spread over cake and enjoy! Store in the refrigerator.

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
