Mandarin Orange Cake aka "Pig Licking Cake"

Another recipe that my mom use to make for me and my sis.  I LOVE this cake!!!

Cake Ingredients:

1 box Duncan Hines butter cake mix (do NOT use the box directions for making the cake)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 can (11 oz) mandarin oranges, do not drain
1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional, but oh so good!)

Icing Ingredients:
1 small package instant vanilla pudding
1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
1 large can crushed pineapple, do not drained
1 cup shredded coconut (optional, but again, so good!)


Directions:

Mix cake ingredients and split between 3 prepared (greased and floured) round cake pans.
Bake at 325* for 25-30 minutes.  Let cakes cool completely before assembling.

Stir together dry pudding and pineapple.  Add whipped topping, mix well.

Once cakes are cooled...Alternate cake and icing to make a three layered cake, and frost the outside of cake as well.  Cake must be keep in the refridgerator!
