This cake recipe (not the frosting) was used in some of the layers of my daughter's wedding cake last weekend. It was so moist and wonderful. There were several compliments on this cake. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This recipe has been a family favorite for years. I do not use pudding mix in the batter - it all goes in the frosting. Let the frosting sit for a while before topping the cake for better texture. I make two layers and slice them to make four layers in all.

I first had this cake at a baby shower and HAD to have the recipe! I made it for 4th of July. We were having a pool party and I wanted something light and enjoyable! I topped the cake with strawberries and blueberries to make the American flag! Everyone loved it! It was beautiful and tasted great! Really a winner!

This was great!!! So moist and very flavorful! Used a cream cheese icing instead, and everyone enjoyed it.

This recipe was such a good spring time recipe. Very light cake and so good! I didn't use the vanilla pudding in the cake mix. I also didn't use the orange extract. I used the orange cake mix as suggested by other reviewers. It came out great! I also didn't have the vanilla pudding for the frosting so I used lemon and it was still very good. It was a nice citrusy taste. Everyone went back for seconds with this one. Will make again!

This is a great cake that I made for Easter. I made it in a 9 x 13" pan, due to the fact that someone mentioned that the layer version might slide, and I had to travel with it. It was moist, and the flavor was great. I did make the pudding first and did not add the dry mix to the whipped topping, so thank you to the reviewer for the advice. Additionally, the stores are now selling a "reduced sugar" yellow and chocolate mix. I used the yellow reduced sugar mix, and it was great. I also used fat-free, sugar-free vanilla pudding and light whipped topping. I don't think anyone eating it had any idea, either!

This was a nice simple way to spice up an ordinary cake mix. Tasted like it was from scratch. I didn't use the frosting recipe, and I substituted french vanilla pudding and cake mixes. Tasted very good!

mmm...awesome! I have made this a few times. And my audience is mostly people who are trying to lose weight or maintain theirs. I make the cake with egg whites and applesauce and it tastes AWESOME...and i use fat free cool whip. I have even done a double layered with two cakes for a baby shower- one yellow one green..it was a raving hit!

This cake tastes EVEN BETTER when you use the Duncan Hines Orange Supreme cake mix in place of the yellow cake mix. It's not available in all stores, but if you can find it the cake tastes even more fabulous. (If using the orange cake mix, omit the orange extract from the recipe). Either way though..this cake is perfect for summer and is to die for. Definitely one to take to family functions or potlucks..you will get rave reviews and tons of compliments. Be prepared to share the recipe, because everyone will be asking for it :)

My family loves this cake at Easter!! I do it with a bit of tinted green toasted coconut, Peeps and jelly beans on the top...too cute! I am not a fan of frozen whipped topping and my family is. I beat an 8 oz. package of SOFTENED cream cheese with the pineapple and then the whipped topping. It doesn't taste nearly as fake that way!

This has become my signature dessert. Everyone always asks me to make this cake. It's perfect in the summertime. Light and fruity and not too sweet. Delicious! And it's easy to make!

Delicous! The pineapple whipped cream frosting is so light and yummy and the tiny bits of orange in the cake batter make it so pretty!

Great cake, disgusting frosting! I think I must have taken the difections too literally, because I folded the pudding mix right into the cool whip, which made it all gritty; it was like having granulated sugar all through the frosting! I must say that I'm the only one in the house who thought that, though; my husband and daughter gobbled it up. I frosted two cakes separately; one with this frosting and one with a cream cheese frosting that I added some pineapple and orange extract to, and I thought that was delicious! The cake itself was to die for, and I'm definitely making it again. I did vary it slightly by adding a little grated orange peel to the cake, which gave it a little more orange flavor. Yummy! I'd really like to try this as a bundt cake with an orange glaze drizzled over it!

A nice change from the same old thing. Not as good as the reviews led me to believe, though.

This has been my favorite cake since I was a kid! The only problem with it is that I can't stop eating it! When I make this to take somewhere, I make it as a sheet cake, and frost it after I get there. (sometimes if you make it as a double layer, the top layer will slide off when transporting it) I would recommend this for anyone...it's an incredible cake!
