ORANGE PINEAPPLE LAYER CAKE




Ingredients

cake
1 package yellow cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 can (11 oz) mandarin oranges, undrained
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
frosting
1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
1 package (3.5 oz) instant vanilla pudding
2 cups heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 3 (8 or 9 inch) round cake pans.
In a large bowl, beat the cake mix, oil, oranges, eggs and sour cream until well blended.
Evenly divide the batter among the 3 cake pans.
Bake for 16-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Let cool in the cake pans for 20 minutes and then turn the cake pan upside down onto a cooling rack (to release the cake) and let the cakes cool completely.
To make the frosting: Beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer, or with a handheld blender, unil stiff peaks form.
In a separate bowl combine the crushed pineapple and instant vanilla pudding (just the dry powder, do not prepare). Stir together until combined.
Add the whipped cream into the pineapple/pudding mixture and stir together to combine completely. If you are having trouble combining it then use a handheld blender to blend it up and mix together.
Place your 1st cake layer on your serving plate of choice. Frost in between each layer, and the top and sides of the cake with the pineapple whipped cream mixture.
Serve right away or refrigerate cake until ready to serve. It's best refrigerated. Overnight is my preference or refrigerate at least 4-6 hours.
Notes

The cake mix I used was about 15.75 oz. I saw other cake mixes that were closer to 18 oz. Use a regular boxed cake mix between 15-18 oz.

We much prefer this cake cold. I think it's best to make it in the morning of the day you need it and then let it sit in the fridge all day. You can also make the 3 cake layers the night before and let them sit out over night (covered) so that way they will be completely cooled and ready to use. Make the frosting in the morning, frost the cake, and then let sit in the fridge all day. This is how make the cake and how we prefer it. Or, just make it all the day you need it and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours. Either way it's yummy. It gets better as it sits in the fridge. So leftovers are amazing!
