HC's Cake

Holy Moly.  Once a month the women in my neighborhood get together and kick it.  It has been such a blessing to get to know these women better.  Over Christmas one of the ladies made this amazing cake, a mandarin cake.  Holy Moly.  It was amazing, and I brought a piece home for Dave and the girls to share.

This is the cake that HC requested for her birthday, which we ate after her birthday dinner of butternut squash soup.  Here is the recipe.

Cake:
1 pkg. yellow cake
4 eggs
3/4 cup veggie oil
15 oz can mandarin oranges

Drain and reserve the juice from the oranges and chop the oranges up.  Mix the cake with the eggs, oil and juice, and fold in the oranges.  Bake in 3 cake pans at 350 for 20-25 minutes (or make cupcakes like I did).

Frosting:
Cool whip, thawed
20 oz. can of crushed pineapple
3.2 oz pkg of vanilla instant pudding
Mix it all together.  Frost the cake and refrigerate overnight.
