Despite the fact that this recipe is all mixes and cans, I made it because we were tired of the tastes of winter. We needed some sun and freshness! And this cake won. It was great. And it is so easy! I mixed the oranges in the cake batter too long so they were undistinguishable in the cake, so be careful with that. This cake would be perfect for potlucks.
It’s cool, it’s creamy, it’s moist and it’s easy to have on hand because it stores in the fridge. There’s no denying the popularity of this orange-flavored cake with the creamy pineapple frosting.

This cake was absolutely delicious. This is not one of those grocery store cakes that is too sweet. It's light and moist and a big hit! I will definitely make again!
