There's nothing rough about making this yummy cake. Guests at our golf dinner never suspected that it started with a convenient boxed mix. They were delighted with the golf green motif, the cake's fruity flavor and the fluffy icing. -Sue Ann O'Buck, Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

  • 1 package yellow cake mix (regular size)
  • 1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges
  • 1 can (20 ounces) DOLE® Crushed Pineapple in 100% Pineapple Juice
  • 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 to 6 drops green food coloring
  • 1 wooden skewer (about 6 inches)

Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
