Incredibly Cool and Refreshing Mandarin Orange Cake

By: Karen=^..^=

refreshing on a hot day and is the perfect ending to a BBQ (or any) meal. Everyone who has ever tried this has raved about it. It is so yummy and light and does not last a day in our house! If you do have any left, store it in the refrigerator. (Cooling time is not added to the prep or cook times.)

SERVES 10 -12 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (18 1/2 ounce) package yellow cake mix

4 large eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

2 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges

1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed (Cool Whip or store brand)

1 (3 1/2 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding

Directions

1Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2Grease and flour a 9 x 13 inch pan (I use a pyrex baking pan so I can serve the cake right in the pan).

3In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil and ONE can of oranges with juice.

4Mix by hand or with mixer until smooth (you will still see bits of oranges).

5Pour into prepared pan.

6Bake for 30-40 minutes or until thin steak knife inserted in center come out clean.

7Allow to cool completely on rack.

8In a large bowl, mix whipped topping, the other can of mandarin oranges with juice and dry pudding mix until well combined and smooth.

9Spread on cooled cake.
