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 absolutely one of my most favorite cakes. I call it Ambrosia Cake. I know it as a summer cake only because I tend to bring it to most summer potlucks or family gatherings. It's easy to make this sugar free with the new sugar free cakes that are now on the market and sugar free pudding mix and whipped topping. I like to sprinkle toasted coconut or toasted pecans (or both!) over the top. It really takes only minutes to make this but it's always a crowd pleaser. NOTE: I'm with everyone--make sure to grease your pan otherwise you'll struggle with cutting pieces nicely out of your baking pan.

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!

MIX IT ALL IN ONE BOWL! I have made this cake for years but one time I accidentally put the pineapple and pudding mix in with the cake mix and oranges and eggs. I went ahead and baked it just for fun and we loved it much better this way and I have done it that way since. Is is more flavorful. We top it with plain Cool Whip.
