Golden Fruit Whip Cake

Yellow cake mix
11 oz can mandarin oranges (drain, saving liquid)
½ cup oil
4 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease & flour 9x13" pan (or 2 8" square pans). Combine and beat cake mix, oil, eggs and juice from the oranges. When beaten, fold in orange segments. Pour into pan and bake until done. (Follow cake mix directions.) Let the cake cool. Invert pan on cake serving platter. "Frost" sides and top with the topping:

Topping:
8 oz Cool Whip
20 oz can crushed pineapple
1 small pkg instant vanilla pudding

Beat the pudding and pineapple with a mixer and then fold in the cool whip.

Variations: If you leave the cake in the pan, there will be extra topping, or a layer almost as thick as the cake. Another way to do it is to leave the cake unfrosted and add the topping as you would ice cream when serving.
