Cake:

1 box yellow cake mix
1/4 cup applesauce
4 eggs
1 can (11 oz.) Mandarin oranges

Preheat oven to 350*F.

In a large bowl, mix all of the cake ingredients until moist. Beat by hand for 2 minutes.

Coat a 13" x 9" pan with non-stick spray.

Pour the batter into the pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.

Frosting:

1 container (8 oz.) cool whip
1 pkg. instant vanilla pudding
1 can (15 1/2 oz.) crushed pineapple in juice

In a large bowl, mix together all of the frosting ingredients until well blended. Spread over cake. Store in the refrigerator. NOTE: To make a multilayer cake, bake in two 9" pans for 25 minutes, or until they test done. Place the cooled layers on platter and spread frosting on bottom layer, then place top layer on top and frost top and sides.
