This was extremely easy to make, and my family really enjoyed it. It's a good light dessert that's not too sweet, and the little bit I had left was even better as the cake improves upon standing overnight in the refrigerator. I added 1/2 cup flaked coconut to the icing, and the next time that I make it, I will also try adding a 1/2 tsp orange flavoring to the cake mix and mandarin oranges to strengthen the flavor a bit. -
Yummy! If I could give this more stars I would. I love that this is the perfect summer cake, not to sweet and not to heavy, plus all the flavors of summer. I did change a few things; I used vanilla pudding instead of banana, as that is all I had on hand, I also added about half a cup of coconut to the frosting, as you suggested and it turned out wonderfully. You however didn't mention a cooking temp so I baked mine for 25 minutes at 350 and it was perfect. I loved that the oranges didn't give it a heavy orange flavor just very subtle, matched beautifully with the rest of the cake. My whole family loved it and couldn't stop raving about it. Thanks so much for posting I will be making this one again soon, lots of potlucks and bbqs left before winter. Leanne

I had to say goodbye to the love of my life in 2017. We were married 34 yrs. I still have 2 wonderful sons, 2 beautiful daughter in laws and now 3 grands. Starting life over is hard, moving on is of easy. Cooking gives ways to move on. I love cooking and baking for friends and my family
