Dizzy Orange Sponge Cake

Doesn't this look like it would melt in your mouth? Well it does.. sadly.  Its such a light and fluffy Sponge cake, that it doesn't last long at all. I didn't make it, I just ate it. Shared it actually.  But if I am correct, it might not even be sponge cake  - it might just be a light yellow cake with nuts, orange jello (or yogurt) in it and a nice soft cool whip. The icing is cool whip, with pudding mix, and slivers of fruity chocolate.... if that makes sense at all.

After having this - I may make a PIG EATING CAKE... are you familiar with this? Its a great way to make a cake with fruit in it - and call it CAKE...

Here is what I do:

• 1- 18 ounce yellow cake mix
• 11-ounce can mandarin oranges with juice
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 9-ounce carton frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 8-ounce can crushed pineapple, with juice
• 3.4 ounce (4-servings) box instant vanilla pudding

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour cake pans. In mixing bowl, combine cake mix, mandarin oranges, mandarin orange juice, eggs and oil. Beat for 2 minutes with electric mixer.

 

Pour into pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean.

 

Cool in pan for 5 minutes, turn out of pan and finish cooling on wire racks.

 

In a mixing bowl, combine whipped topping, pineapple, juice from can and vanilla pudding mix.

Frost cake.
