    The cakes should be golden brown.
  • Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool completely in their pans on wire racks.

  • In a medium bowl, mix the crushed pineapple, instant vanilla pudding mix, and whipped topping until smooth.
    Once the cakes have cooled, assemble the layer cake.
    Place one layer of cake on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting on top.
  • Repeat with the remaining layers, making sure to cover the top and sides of the cake evenly with frosting.
    You may garnish the cake with extra mandarin orange slices if desired.
