Reviews
I produced the cake as instructed. I felt like the cake was a little bit dry. After I baked it, I drizzled orange juice from another can of mandarin oranges, and my guests were complimentary, but I still think it’s dry. If I make this again, I think I will add some butter or shortening to the batter.
Absolutely awesome,I am going to have it for Thanksgiving. It is so easy to make.

I loved this recipe, but I add a pineapple filling in the middle and it was such a hit that everyone asks me to make it for almost every occasion! Thanks
IT was ok
I didn’t have a cake mix so I used Pineapple Cake III and this frosting. It was a huge hit with the husband.
A delicious summer cake, light, fruity, and moist. It is also very versatile. The last time I made it, I substituted a lemon cake mix and lemon pudding mix. It was just as tasty. I also like to top it with toasted coconut and toasted almonds sometimes. Perfect for potlucks too. Just make it in a disposable aluminum pan and leave the dish. (There won’t be any cake left in it anyway.)
Delicious!!! I made a 2-layer 8″ round cake & filled the cake with vanilla pudding. For the icing, I used: Double Batch of Sweetened Whipped Cream (From this site) Can of crushed Pineapple with juice Coconut Pudding Mix It was awesome!!!!! However, my cake needed to be kept in the fridge right until serving because the icing was droopy…but that could be because I made whipped cream from scratch, and didn’t use Cool Whip. I would definitely make this again!! Next time I am going to try adding cherries or pineapple to the cake mix, as the cake itself was kind of boring. Or maybe I will use french vanilla cake mix instead of the yellow. Definitely worth a try & very easy!
Made it exactly as directed except added mandarin juice to the cake. Took it to a family get together and everyone wanted the recipe. It was gone within 1 hr. Will definitely make again.
Just FYI, there were two toppings for this cake. Of the two toppings, I use this other one if anyone wants to try it. 8oz creamcheese, 1 cup milk, 3.4oz vanilla instant pudding mix, 20 oz can crushed pineapple(well drained), 8oz carton cool whip, and nuts or coconut. Beat first 4 ingredients until thick and spread on cake. then spread the cool whip on top of the creamcheese mixture. Then Sprinkle with chopped walnuts or coconut. This topping tastes better. It also makes a prettier presentation with chopped walnuts sprinkled on top of the white cool whip. But if I don’t have creamcheese, I just use the other topping that’s in this recipe. Not as pretty because the topping is yellow on a yellow cake. Those who didn’t like this cake would probably love it with the creamcheese topping.
Made cake as directed except I drained and reserved the pineapple juice. When making the topping, it appeared a little too thick, so I added approximately 1/4 cup of the pineapple juice to make it more like frosting. I kept the leftover topping to serve with the cake. This can also be used a a fruit dip. Either way, my family loved it!
I’ve made this delicious recipe for years! This recipe is close to the one I use, but I still put in the oil in the cake mix and leave the juice from the manderin orange can 🙂
I made the recipe exactly as stated. I put all of juice from oranges into cake. I made it in a bundt cake pan so it looked pretty. I took this cake and a chocolate chip cheesecake to a party and this went faster than cheesecake! Excellent for summer time!
I wish the instructions were more specific, I used very little juice frome the oranges as the can said they were packed in light syrup. I instead addeed some water as the cake mix box said. I also used cheesecake pudding mix, with I think made it absolutely delicious. I will definitely make this again
this is what is called Pig Picking Cake in the South….Wonderful
When I made the cake part, I added in one teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and one teaspoon of almond extract. For the frosting, I folded in about a cup of toasted coconut. My family LOVED this cake–I swear, there’s only a couple pieces left and I made it two days ago!
I would’ve given this 5 stars, but I’m not one for clumps or small bit of anything in my icing except icing. I saw that I might not be a big fan of the icing, but I decided that I should stick to the recipe exactly the first time I made it. I did what others did: put PAM on it before pouring in the batter. The cake was delicious. I loved this and will be making it again, but this time without the pineapple in the icing.
This was awesome! I sprayed the pan with Pam, as it doesn’t say whether to grease it. I think it probably needed some flour also. I didn’t know whether the juice from the oranges went in or not. Some did, some halved it. I used it all with a Butter golden cake mix as I couldn’t wait to make this. I had to bake it a little longer and when I touch tested it the middle sank. The cake is light, airy, and moist. A little crumbly, that may be the difference in the juice or the cake mix I used. It also looks like it is going to stick to the pan in places. All in all, a great light refreshing taste. This would make a delicious summertime treat. Thanks Denise B!
