Piggy Cake

18 oz box of White Cake Mix
4 eggs
1 stick of butter, softened
1 small can ~9oz can mandarin oranges, drained, reserving 1/2 cup of the liquid
1 tsp. vanilla

Topping:
20oz can crushed pineapple with liquid
8 oz cool whip
3.4 to 4oz Vanilla pudding


Combine liquid ingredients including eggs and butter, mixing together briefly. Add cake mix and mix until thoroughly combined, 3 to 4 minutes. Add oranges and mix until oranges break apart into tiny pieces.

Add batter to greased 9X13 pan and cook at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. Let cake come to room temperature.

While cake is baking, mix topping ingredients together very well. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours to allow to thicken.

When cooled, top cake with  topping and refrigerate until ready to be served, preferably overnight.

This is my adapted version based on looking up this recipe on the web. It my tried and true version!
