I always thought this was an unusual cake. I haven’t ever made it, so I will definitely have to try it for our next get together. This recipe is from a cook book called ‘What’s Cooking at Rothwell’ from Rothwell Baptist Church in Pooler, Georgia in the 80s. This recipe was contributed by Ryan Gibbons.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 c oil
- 1 box Duncan Hines butter cake
- 4 eggs
- 1 can mandarin oranges (undrained)
Icing:
- 1 big cool whip (I wonder if this would be the medium one now?)
- 1 can crushed pineapple
- 1 instant vanilla pudding
Mix all this together. Cook in 3 pans 325 degrees F for 20 mins. Icing: Mix all ingredients together and ice the cake.
An alternate version in the same cook book was contributed by JoAnn Bland.
Ingredients:
- 1 box Duncan Hines yellow cake mix
- 4 eggs
- 1 small can of mandarin oranges undrained

Frosting:

- 1 no-bake Jell-O cream cheese cake mix (save crust for another recipe)
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 8oz Cool Whip
Mix all ingredients together. Bake at 305 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes in 2 8 inch cake pans.
Frosting: Mix all ingredients together. Fold in cool whip and ice cooled cake.
