I made exactly as directed! Easy and a good recipe. My family of 4 enjoyed and my husband just took the leftovers to his card night so hopefully the guys will like it also. :-)

This is one of my husband's new favorites! I made it the "less-healthy" way and followed the yellow cake directions with added mandarin oranges. I also added coconut to the coolwhip/crushed pineapple frosting. Out of this world good!!!! Next time I plan to use the mandarin orange juice in place of the water in the cake mix and also add chopped mandarin oranges to the frosting.

This is one of my favorite cakes! It is flavorful, moist, and guilt-free! But I've also made it using all the normal type ingredients (regular instant vanilla pudding, regular cool whip, etc) with phenominal results! So good!

Made this cake for a church social and everyone loved it. Did use the suggestions in the book and used the cheesecake pudding mix and th orange flavoring in the icing. I also, used a Duncan Hines orange cake mix and added fat free cream cheese to the icing. Turned out great.

Simple and good. (However, I didn't do the lo-cal, lo-fat, no-yolk method. w/o guilt.) Next time I will use mandarin oranges instead of pineapple in the topping as well as in the cake. The pineapple overpowers the orange flavor, which I love, to almost non-existent.
