Ingredients

Cake ingredients:
1 box yellow cake mix with pudding
1 (11 oz.) can mandarin oranges, including juice
1/2 cup oil
4 large eggs
Frosting ingredients:
1 package of Jell-O No Bake Cheesecake mix
1 (20 oz.) can of crushed pineapples, including juice
1 cup of sour cream
1 (16 oz.) container Cool Whip

Steps:

Combine cake mix, oranges (including juice) and oil; mix on medium speed until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour batter in a prepared (greased and floured) 9" x 13" pan or you can use 2 9" round or square pans. Bake for approximately 20 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Cool on a rack while preparing frosting. Empty cheesecake mix in a bowl; add crushed pineapples (including juice) and sour cream; mix until all ingredients are blended. Add Cool Whip and fold into the cheesecake mixture. Frost a completely cooled cake. This cake is best if made the day before you plan to serve. Keep refrigerated

Tips:

Use fresh pineapple, as it has a brighter flavor than canned pineapple.
If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use 1/2 cup of orange juice instead.
Be sure to grease and flour the baking pan before adding the batter, to prevent it from sticking.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it.
