Betty Crocker Luscious Mandarin Orange Cake Recipe

It's cool, it's creamy, it's moist and it's easy to have on hand because it stores in the fridge. There's no denying the popularity of this orange-flavored cake with the creamy pineapple frosting.

Prep Time: 10 min
Total Time: 1 hour 50 min
Makes: 20 servings

1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® yellow cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, if desired
1 can (11 oz) mandarin orange segments, undrained

1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
1 box (4-serving size) vanilla instant pudding and pie filling mix
1/2 to 1 teaspoon grated orange peel, if desired
1 cup frozen (thawed) whipped topping
