1 yellow cake mix
1/2 cup oil
4 eggs
1-11 ounce can mandarin oranges with juice
(they get chopped up when you mix)

Mix & bake at 350 degree for 25-30 min or until done. I use 2 small round cake pans. I also grease & flour the pans.

Frosting:
1 cup crushed pineapple(drained really well)
1-10 ounce Cool Whip
1-3 ounce Vanilla pudding (Make for pie filling)

I make the pudding ahead of time and cool for a bit. Then, I add the Cool Whip and pineapple. The whole cake is great even in the fridge.

This is not sweet-sweet. It sounds it, but it really is not at all. I am not a huge fan of cake or frosting. I am not crazy about pineapple either. This is fabulous. Very refreshing!! I served it last night & it went over really well. It always does!! Yummy! I hope you try this. You'll be so glad.
