Ultimate Classic Pig Pickin’ Cake Recipe
1. Make the cake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13 baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine:
Cake mix
Eggs
Oil
Vanilla
Mandarin oranges
Mix until well combined. The oranges will break apart — that’s perfect!
Pour into pan and bake 25–30 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let it cool completely.
2. Make the frosting
In a bowl, combine:
Cool Whip
Crushed pineapple (with juice)
Vanilla pudding mix
Mix until creamy and thick.
Spread frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
❄️ 3. Chill
Refrigerate at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
🍽 Serve
Cut into squares (like in your image) and enjoy a light, fruity, refreshing Southern classic!
