This is my MIL's recipe that she adapted from Southern Living:
Mandarin Orange Cake
1 pkg yellow cake mix without pudding
1 [11 oz] can mandarin oranges, undrained
4 eggs
½ cup oil
1 [15 oz] can crushed pineapple drained
1 [9oz] carton frozen whipped cream, thawed
1 small pkg vanilla instant pudding
Combine cake mix, oranges, eggs and oil. Beat 2 minutes at high speed of electric mixer. Reduce speed to low, beat 1 minute.
Pour batter into 3 greased and floured cake pans (three 9" rounds). Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Cool in pans, remove, cool completely. [I froze them for several days so they would be easier to frost and frosted them the day we ate them.]
Combine 3 remaining ingredients, beat 2 minutes at medium speed, let stand 5 minutes or until mixture reaches spreading consistency. I actually refrigerated the frosting
so it would not be so runny. Spread mixture between layers and on top and sides of cake. Chill at least 2 hours before serving. Store in refrigerator.

This cake looks delicious! I'm going to have to try it. Thanks for the recipe!
Hey Holly! Hope you enjoy it--maybe let us know how it turns out??
Looks stunning. Plus pineapple cream = the love.
Yum, that sounds delicious and just looks beautiful
That looks delish! I cannot wait to try it... maybe for Mother's Day :)
P.S. I don't like Sandra Lee's show either :-P
ha, cheats or not, that sounds good
the cake looks so stunning, and the recipe is so simple!
Must. Make. This. :o) BTW, are you serious that you've never had fries and gravy before? Never? So, I suppose you've never eaten poutine? Fries with cheese curds on top, drenched in hot gravy, cheese melts and with one bite, you're in heaven.
Why do I read your blog so early in the morning? I shouldn't want cake at 7:33am. :)
HC, Ali, Sandy, Michelle, and Justin: Thanks! For those of you who are going to make it, I hope you guys enjoy creating and eating it, and like I said for Holly, maybe you could share your results on your blogs!
Peggy: Ha! Come to think of it, I HAVE had fries and gravy--in New York, at Tom's. But I forgot because the gravy was served on TOP of the fries, and not as a dipping sauce. Also, I've heard of the magnificence that is poutin, but have never tried it. I think I'm seriously missing out!!!!
Catherine: Hahahahaha!
Ah this cake sounds like something I would cobble together! It sounds awesome as a refreshing cake for summer. I shall try it sometime :)
This looks and sounds so delicious!! I need to try it! =)
