"There's No Coconut In It" Cake

This cake doesn't really have a name. The frosting has crushed pineapple in it, and it looks like coconut when you spread it on the cake. But, my dad, sister and I all HATE coconut, so we lovingly call this the "There's NO COCONUT In It" cake. And it is the most delicious cake I have ever eaten!

To make the cake:

1 box of yellow cake mix
6 oz can mandarin oranges (Do not drain)
1 egg
1/2 cup oil

Mix all together, bake in a greased and floured pan according to cake mix directions. (It usually cooks a few minutes quicker than the box says.)

To make the frosting:

12 oz tub Cool Whip
15 oz can crushed pineapple (Do not drain)
1 small box vanilla pudding mix

Stir all together, spread on cake when it is completely cooled.

Yes, it does have an official name: Mandarian Orange Cake. It's really good and hard to beat as an all around yummy creation.
