Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat Oven: Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350Β°F (175Β°C). |
| 2 | Prepare Pans: Generously grease two 9-inch round cake pans and dust with powdered cake mix. Shake off excess into a mixing bowl and set the pans aside. |
| 3 | Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, blend together the cake mix, mandarin oranges with juice, melted butter, oil, and eggs using an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat at medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes longer until well combined. |
| 4 | Bake: Divide the batter between the two prepared pans and place them in the oven side by side. Bake for 24 to 27 minutes, or until golden brown and the top springs back when lightly pressed with your finger. |
| 5 | Cool: Remove the pans from the oven and let them cool on wire racks for 10 minutes. Run a dinner knife around the edges and invert each cake onto a rack, then invert them again onto a plate so they are right side up. |
| 6 | Soak with Pineapple Juice: While still warm, poke holes in the top of each layer with a wooden skewer. Pour the pineapple juice over the layers so that the cake soaks up all the juice. Let the layers cool for 30 minutes. |
| 7 | Prepare Frosting: Meanwhile, prepare the frosting by putting all frosting ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir until well combined and the pudding is dissolved. |
| 8 | Assemble Cake: Place one cake layer, right side up, onto a serving platter. Spread the top with frosting. Place the second layer, right side up, on top of the first and frost the top and sides of the cake. |
| 9 | Serve or Store: Store the cake, lightly covered in wax paper, in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve and enjoy! |
