Step 2
Once done baking, remove the cake from the oven, then let it cool down completely, and then prepare the topping. In a mixing bowl, add the juice of the drained crushed pineapple, then add the instant vanilla pudding mix as well, and stir them together to combine before stirring in the powdered sugar. Once well combined, fold in the Cool Whip whipped topping, then add the drained pineapple, and stir them together until well combined.

Slice the cake into 12 pieces, then garnish each slice with a slice of mandarin orange, serve, and enjoy!
