Pea Pickin' (or Pig Pickin') Cake

I'd totally forgotten how light and wonderful this is in summer!

PEA PICKIN' CAKE

CAKE:
1 box yellow butter cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 (11 oz.) can mandarin oranges, undrained

FROSTING:
3 oz. pkg. instant vanilla pudding mix
1 large can crushed pineapple, drained
8 oz. container Cool Whip, thawed

Preheat oven to 325° F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Mix cake mix, oil, and eggs at medium speed of an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Blend in the oranges and their juice. Divide between the cake pans and bake for 30 minutes. Let cake cool; remove from pans. Mix pudding mix and crushed pineapple; fold in Cool Whip. Use to frost cake.

Pat, the way I have made it is a scratch cake. I think if I do it I will try this way as, even with the Kitchen Aid I get too darned tired for doing much baking.

Barb, could you post your scratch cake recipe?
I am looking for a good homemade white cake.

Ohhh, I wish I had a kitchen as this sounds so good and easy.
