Mandarin Orange & White Cake Recipe
🕒 Total Time: 31 minutes
🥣 Servings: Makes 1 cake
Ingredients:
- 1 box of white cake mix
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, undrained
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) vanilla pudding mix
- 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 container (8 ounces) Cool Whip
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
-
-
Prepare Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and the entire can of mandarin oranges, including the juice.
-
Beat Batter: Using an electric mixer, beat the ingredients on high speed for about 6 minutes, or until well combined and fluffy.
-
Prepare Pans: Grease and flour two round cake pans generously, ensuring they are well-coated to prevent sticking.
-
Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool: Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pans on wire racks.
-
Prepare Topping: In another large bowl, prepare the topping by mixing together the vanilla pudding mix with the crushed pineapple, including the juice. Then, gently fold in the Cool Whip until well combined.
-
Assemble: Once the cakes have cooled, carefully remove them from the pans. Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous amount of the pineapple and Cool Whip mixture over the top.
-
Layer: Place the second cake layer on top, and spread the remaining pineapple and Cool Whip mixture over the entire cake, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
-
Chill: For best results, refrigerate the cake for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together and the topping to set.
-
Serve: Slice and serve this delightful Mandarin Orange & White Cake to your eager guests, and enjoy the tropical flavors with every bite!
