Hawaiian Wedding Cake
Description
This Hawaiian Wedding Cake starts with a classic yellow cake mix enriched with eggs, vegetable oil, and canned mandarin oranges with their juice folded into the batter. The cake is baked until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. After cooling, the frosting is prepared by blending thawed whipped topping with dry instant vanilla pudding mix, crushed pineapple, and pineapple juice to create a creamy, lightly sweetened frosting with pineapple flavor.
The frosting is spread thickly over the cooled cake and chilled for at least 30 minutes to set before serving. The optional maraschino cherries add color and a sweet accent on each slice. This cake is best served chilled and is a festive dessert with tropical fruit tones and smooth frosting texture.
Ingredients
For the cake:
- 4 egg
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges
- 1 (15 ounce) can Mandarin Orange juice
For the frosting:
- 1 (16 ounce) container whipped topping thawed
- 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix (dry mix)
- 1 (15 ounce) can crushed pineapple
- 1 (15 ounce) can pineapple juice
- maraschino cherries for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 9-inch by 13-inch cake pan with parchment paper and coat with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and oil together until well blended. Whisk in the cake mix until smooth. Carefully fold in the mandarin oranges and their juice.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake 25 to 35 minutes (check at 25 minutes). Cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
- When the cake is cool, blend whipped topping and dry vanilla pudding mix in a large bowl (do not prepare the pudding mix into pudding). Carefully fold in pineapple and juice. Spread the frosting in a thick, even layer on the cake.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving. Garnish individual slices with maraschino cherries if desired. Refrigerate any leftovers.
