Ingredients:

• 1 box yellow cake mix
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
• 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
• 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 container (8 ounces) Cool Whip, thawed
• 1 cup flaked coconut

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Cake Pan: Grease and flour a 13×9 inch cake pan, ensuring the cake won’t stick.
3. Mix Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix until well blended.
4. Incorporate Oranges: Add the drained mandarin oranges to the cake batter. Beat for about 2 minutes until everything is thoroughly combined.
5. Bake: Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
7. Prepare Topping: In another bowl, mix together the instant vanilla pudding mix and drained crushed pineapple until thickened.
8. Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip and flaked coconut into the pudding and pineapple mixture until well combined.
9. Spread Topping: Once the cake has cooled, spread the pudding and pineapple mixture evenly over the top of the cake.
10. Refrigerate: For the best taste and texture, refrigerate the cake. The flavors will meld together beautifully, creating a moist and delicious treat.
