How to Make MANDARIN ORANGE CAKE WITH PINEAPPLE FROSTING

Step-by-Step

Add the cake mix, oil, eggs and mandarin oranges with liquid to a large mixing bowl. Remove 6-8 orange segments and set aside for garnish
Using a electric mixer blend together the cake ingredients. Pour into two greased and floured round cake pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes or until golden brown and the cake springs back. Remove from oven and let cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on a baking rack. Frost when cakes are completely cooled.
FROSTING
Mix pineapple, pudding & cool whip together. Spread on one cooled cake layer..top with other cake layer & frost top & sides. Place reserved orange slices on top for garnish
This can be baked in a oblong cake pan or made into cupcakes if desired. I made mini cupcakes for snack time for bingo & none were left!
