Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 ½ cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
  • 2 (8 ounce) cans mandarin oranges drained
  • 1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping thawed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cake mix according to package directions and bake two 8 inch round cake layers. Allow the cakes to cool fully, then cut each layer horizontally to create four cake layers total.
  2. Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and soft. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar and continue beating.
  3. Stir in the crushed pineapple with its juice and the drained mandarin oranges, holding back a few slices for garnish. Mix in the dry pudding mix, then fold in the thawed whipped topping carefully until combined.
  4. Place one cake layer on a serving plate with the cut side facing up and spread a layer of the frosting on top. Add a second layer with the cut side facing down and spread more frosting. Repeat this process with the remaining layers, covering the top and sides with frosting.
  5. Decorate the top with reserved mandarin orange slices and refrigerate the cake overnight for best flavor and consistency.

Notes

  • For crisp tops, broil 2–3 minutes at the end
