Pig Cake

Posted by Donna:

A friend of mine shared this recipe with me last summer. Last week, I saw it again on the Pioneer Woman, and that reminded me that I needed to make this cake. I read that the reason it's called Pig Cake is that people make "pigs" out of themselves when they eat it. If that's true, then I've got multiple recipes of Pig Cakes!!!!!!!

Pig Cake

1 yellow cake mix
1 stick of butter or margarine, softened
1 can (14 oz.) mandarin oranges, juice reserved
1/2 cup of the drained mandarin orange juice
4 egg
1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Mix all of the ingredients together. Bake in a greased/floured 9 x 13 pan for 25 - 30 minutes.


Frosting:

1 pkg. (4 oz.) instant vanilla pudding
1 can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple, juice reserved
1/2 cup powdered sugar
4 oz. cool whip


Blend the juice with the vanilla pudding mix. Then add the powdered sugar and mix until well blended. Next, add in the whipped topping. Stir in the drained pineapple.

Spread on the cooled cake. Refrigerate several hours before serving.



This is a very light dessert---and very satisfying. Hope you enjoy it as well.
