This cake is scrumptious!! It's very light with just the right moistness, and so easy to put together. The whipped topping is perfect--not too sweet. With Double Vanilla ice cream on the side, over-the-top yummy! It would be perfect for a bridal or baby shower or an elegant luncheon.

I make this cake as a sheet cake for birthdays at work. It has had great reviews to the point my coworkers are asking each other who's birthday is next.

I used a can of mandarin oranges in juice. I used the juice instead of the water called for in the cake mix directions. I did have to use a little water because it wasn't quite enough juice. My family really enjoyed the cake.
