2 Great Summer Dessert Recipes

mix dry cake mix with oil, eggs and mandarin oranges + juice. Pour into two 8 or 9 inch greased and floured cake pans. Bake at 325 for 25-30 minutes.
Remove and let cool.

Filling/icing

1 large can of crushed pineapple (juice included)

Pour pineapple and juice in a bowl. Sprinkle pudding mix over the pineapple. Fold in the cool whip. Mix gentle. Spread on top of the first layer of the cake, place other layer on top and then cover top and sides of the entire cake. Keep refrigerated.
I make this cake several times over the summer. It is so cool and refreshing on a hot day!

No Icing Cake

It's yummy!

1 yellow cake mix prepare as directed except for the water part put in juice of the fruit you will be using in the cake. Add the fruit to the mix also.

This gives your dessert a twofold purpose, fruit and juices in the cake. Reminds me of cobbler!

We have tried:

peaches
pears
pineapple
red raspberries

The possibilities are endless and the children beg for more!
