Hawaiian Delight

This is one yummylisious cake!! Perfect for Easter or Spring too. Cool, refreshing & just plain sweetness (but not too sweet). It taste better even on the 2nd day, trust me I had it for breakfast....bad me, but oh so good me!

I make this every year, and submitted it to our recipe book years ago. It is one recipe everyone asks me for, and I am happy to share it.


What you will need:

Simple and easy ingredients, and this cake is forgiving too. I didn't have enough of the fruit but it still turned out great.

First you will preheat the oven to 325*

Pull out your mixer and put in these 4 ingredients:

1~yellow cake mix, 4 eggs, 3/4 cup of veggie oil & a medium to large can of mandarin oranges but DO NOT drain them, throw it all in!

Mix it up good:

Pour it into a greased jelly roll pan or edged cookie sheet:

Smooth it all out evenly:

Put it in oven for 15-20 minutes depending on your oven. Make sure you put it in the middle rack and do not over cook it. It should be light golden brown and spring back a little.

Cool it on a rack:

Now let's make the easy frosting. I usually make it while the cake is baking, just rinse out the mixer bowl you used & add these 3 ingredients to it:

1~12 oz cool whip, 1~small package of instant vanilla pudding & 1~med to large can of crushed pineapple and again DO NOT drain it, dump it all in!

Whip it up real good:

It will have a medium thickness and be a little chunky with the pineapple. Refrigerate it until the cake has cooled down completely.


Once cake is cooled, spread the frosting on it:

Cover with plastic wrap or foil & refrigerate it till your ready to serve.
