Mandarin Orange Cake

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 box yellow cake mix

  (1 18.25-ounce box)
• 4 large eggs

  (at room temperature)
• 1 cup oil

   (I recommend coconut oil for an enhanced flavor)
• 11 oz mandarin orange slices

  (canned, do not drain - use a larger can if you would like to top with garnish slices)
• 8 oz Cool Whip

  (set out to room temperature for 15-20 minutes)
• 20 oz crushed pineapple

  (canned, do not drain)
• 3.5 oz Jell-O instant vanilla pudding mix

Instructions

• 1 Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat a 9x13 baking dish with oil
  and flour or non-stick baking spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 box
  yellow cake mix, 4 large eggs, 1 cup oil, and 11 oz mandarin orange slices. Beat
  until the batter becomes smooth.
• 2 Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish. Bake the cake on the center rack
  for 30-35 minutes, or until you can insert a toothpick into the center and it
  comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before adding frosting.
• 3 Add all frosting ingredients (room temperature 8 oz Cool Whip, 20 oz crushed
  pineapple, and 3.5 oz Jell-O instant vanilla pudding mix) to a medium mixing
  bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.
• 4 Pour the frosting mixture over the cooled cake and place it covered in the
  fridge to chill and set before serving.
