Pig Pickin' Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 2 8-inch round cake pans with baking spray, then set aside.

2. Using a stand mixer (or hand mixer + large bowl), mix together yellow cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs until batter is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

3. Remove bowl from mixer. Pour in most of mandarin oranges, reserving a few for decoration (optional). Use a spatula to gently fold oranges into batter.

4. Pour batter into prepared cake pans, dividing batter evenly between both.

5. Bake cakes for 23-30 minutes or until a tester toothpick comes out clean.

6. Let cakes cool in pans for 15-20 minutes, then remove from pans and transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

7. While cakes cool, prepare frosting. In a medium bowl, mix together crushed pineapple and instant vanilla pudding mix until powder is incorporated.

8. Add Cool Whip to bowl and gently fold into pineapple mixture until combined.
