Orange Pineapple Cake
This cake is a perfect dessert for summer gatherings with family and friends. Our dear family friend, Mary Alice, brought this cake to us and we loved it so much I had to get the recipe. We have made it many times since and it always turns out great every time! It is so light and fruity. This is a versatile recipe that can be made up in several ways.
How to Adjust the Cake Size
The recipe listed below is for an Orange Pineapple Sheet Cake. It serves a large piece of cake to 20 people! If you need to serve a smaller crowd, it can easily be made as a 9×13 cake or a two layer cake with a simple adjustment to the baking time.
If you prefer to make a 9×13 cake, bake the cake at 325 degrees for 30-35 minutes.For a two round layer cake, adjust the baking time to about 20 minutes.
Tips for Making the Orange Pineapple Cake
I’ve made this cake a time or two (or twenty…) and I’ve got a few tips to help you make this cake perfectly, every single time.
For the cake, you can use either a lemon or a yellow cake mix. I prefer the lemon cake mix because it brings out the citrus flavor of the oranges as well as the lemon in the mix, and I think it is delicious with the pineapple in the frosting.You will know when the cake is done when it is just turning a light brown on top, and a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.This recipe makes a ton of frosting! The frosting is not a heavy, rich frosting, but more light and creamy so I generously heap it on the cake.It is a nice touch to add mandarin orange slices, pineapple slices, or strawberry slices to the top of the cake when serving.
