Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, butter, flour, vegetable oil, and drained mandarin oranges.
- Pour the cake batter into a 9x13-inch baking pan, and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes. The cake may not appear done but should be brown on top. Let cool, and cover with frosting.
- To make the frosting: Thoroughly combine the pineapple, instant pudding, and powdered sugar, and set aside until it begins to thicken. Mix in the whipped topping and coconut. Frosting must be refrigerated.
Notes
- This cake actually tastes better the day after baking, as the flavors have time to meld. For best results, make it a day in advance and keep refrigerated. When transporting to potlucks or picnics, keep chilled as long as possible, as the frosting can soften in high heat.
