- Pour batter evenly into each of the three prepared pans.
- In the preheated oven, Bake for 16 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- On a cooling rack, allow cakes to cool fully before transferring them to the refrigerator until ready to frost.
For Frosting:
- After the cakes have cooled, mix whipped cream, crushed pineapple, and pudding mix in a bowl.
- Apply one-third of the frosting to the first cake layer.
- Repeat with another layer of frosting and the second piece of cake.
- Add the final cake layer, followed by the remaining frosting.
- Before serving, the cake should be stored in the refrigerator for at least three hours.
- If desired, garnish with more mandarin orange slices.
Notes
- Ensure that the cakes have cooled completely prior to frosting.
- Cool Whip in a frosting may melt if exposed to excessive heat.
- This also indicates that the cake should be served and stored cool.
- For additional taste and texture, you can add coconut shreds to the frosting.
