Pineapple Cool Whip Cake

This cake is light and delicious. Would be great in the summertime. My only complaint is that the oranges all sank to the bottom of the layer so that when you cut the layers in 2, the bottom half had oranges but the top half didn't. Next time I make this cake, I plan on using the oranges as a filling between layers instead of mixing them into the batter.

Pineapple cool whip cake does better in a 9 by 12 inch cake pan, this way the mandarin oranges are throughout the entire cake. Made it for Easter and they devoured it.
