This cake is my favorite! I use instant cheesecake pudding and 8oz. coolwhip instead of 16oz. I refridgerate the can of pineapple before making the frosting. I mix the pineapple together with the pudding mix first and then fold in the coolwhip. Also have a cake pan that has a high plastic dome lid for storing in the refridgerater. I also cut the mandarin orange segments in-halves to distribute more pieces into the cake.

I have made this in a 9x13 pan and as a layer cake; either way people are crazy about it! The topping is so good, you will want to eat it from the bowl; it's like a pineapple fluff, not really frosting.

My mom used to make this cake when we were growing up. I would always request it for my birthdays and have tons of memories of taking a slice to school packed in my lunch. My 9 y/o asked for it for her birthday today and I am hoping we can start this tradition for her too. Thanks for the recipe :)

This is my all time favorite cake. It is so moist, but it is light and overly sweet. I hate traditional frosting and will wipe it off, but this one will have you going back for more. Hands down the best cake recipe ever! My mom has added toasted coconut to the frosting a few times, but other than that no alterations are needed.

My husband loves moist cake and this worked out perfectly!! I made a few adjustments though. I used mixed fruit instead of mandarine oranges in the cake mix and I added half the package of vanilla pudding to the cake mix and a 1/4 cup of water plus the oil and eggs. Then baked as stated in recipe. for the frosting I used 8 oz of cool whip and the other half of a package of vanilla pudding mix plus the pineapple. As previously stated you have to let the frosting set in the fridge first. YUMMY!!!!!

My mom used to make this cake when I was growing up. She always called it a Pig Picking Cake. I've always loved it! Now I occasionally make this in her memory.
