This recipe is wonderful. I made it for easter a few years ago and my family LOVED it. I have made this recipe into cupcakes and sent them to work with my husband and I get request to make them again all the time. This is a keeper!!!! Very easy and quick to make too.

I made this today for my 3-year-old cousins birthday party. Everybody (adults) loved it! I personally didn't care too much for it, because I was imagining it to be more like angel food cake. But this was yellow cake, duh, so of course it wouldn't taste like angel cake. But everybody loved it, and I liked it, so I'm still giving it 5 stars!

Not only was this an easy cake to make, it was very delicious. I made the recipe for a pre-Father's day dinner, and brought the leftovers to work. It was gobbled up! I imagine this would be great with some coconut added to the top (toasted, yum!), but my father hates coconut.

I used orange supreme flavour cake mix, and pistachio pudding for the frosting (suggested by someone else's review) - and it was a big hit at my son's birthday party. Very moist! The frosting tasted like ambrosia salad! Will definitely make again!

Loved it! Followed others suggestions and used orange cake mix, and substituted OJ for mandarin syrup. And reduced oil to 2/3 plus 1/3 OJ. At the risk of OJ Overdose, I also zested one entire orange and added it to the cake mix. For frosting, I drained the pineapple as suggested, but the pudding had nothing to set with - was powdery. I had to mix some liquid with the pudding for the frosting- the cool whip and Drained pineapple was not enough. I added back in about 1/2-3/4 c of pineapple juice. Made 3 layer cake, and used orange marmalade between layers. It was great! Brought it to work, and everyone ate it by noon.Will make it again, likely before the week is out:)

I love this cake! (also known as Pig-Pickin' Cake!) It is delicious...when I made mine, I accidentally bought lemon mix instead of yellow mix. It still turned out delicious. Its really fun to think of all the combinations that can be made with this recipe! (Try lemon pudding or pistachio pudding instead of vanilla...etc!)I wish that I could taste the madarin oranges but I can't...it okay, though b/c the cake is great no matter what! Next time, I may use half pineapple and half mandarins in the icing? I'll let you know how that one works out! **Make sure you keep the cake refridgerated...its great year round, I'm sure, but especially on a hot summer's day!!** **Another hint: Try draining the pineapple juice and use only about 2/3 to 3/4 of it in the icing to keep it from getting runny...ESPECIALLY if you use fat free or light whipped topping!!**

I have made this cake many times. It is really light and delicious.I like to use low cal cool whip and sugar free pudding mix in the topping. I have also substituted the vanilla pudding for pistaschio for a cool, light green tint to the topping. Be sure and cool completely before covering with the cool whip topping. I also server it cold, right from the refridgerator.Always put it back in the fridge to keep it cool and it just gets better every day!
