Instructions

Mix and Bake the Layers:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour three 8-inch cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), add the cake mix, undrained mandarin oranges, eggs, and the oil. Mix at medium speed for four minutes.
  3. Evenly divide the batter between the three prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of a layer comes out clean.
  4. Remove the pans from the oven. Cool the layers in the pans for about 10 minutes. Remove the layers from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack.

Make the Frosting and Assemble the Cake:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the pudding, pineapple, and topping. Mix until well combined.
  2. Spread the frosting between layers and on top and sides. Refrigerate finished cake for at least 3 hours before serving. Garnish with additional mandarin oranges if desired.
