Pineapple Sunset Layer Cake

  • 1 package yellow cake mix
  • 1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1 can (20 ounces) unsweetened crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 12 oz Cool Whip
Instructions

Prepare cake batter according to the directions on the box. Beat in oranges until blended. Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans.
Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes and then transfer from the pans to wire racks to cool completely.
Combine the drained pineapple and dry vanilla pudding mix. Fold in the Cool Whip. Spread some of the frosting on the top of one layer. Then put the other layer of cake on top of that. Spread the remaining frosting on the top and sides of the cake. Garnish with mandarin oranges, if desired.
Store in the refrigerator!
