~ (The) Better Than Sex Cake ~ (Just for you, BJ!)

... even my heart Dr. said it is fabulous! I bake him a cake every 4 months when I go in.

These are my first strawberries from my garden of this season, & are they ever deelish!!!

When I bake I do this ... if using canned fruits, I drain the juice off & set aside ... say it equals 3/4 c. of juice.

A white cake mix any brand.

Use the juice you drained & add enough water to EQUAL the water amounts on box ... in other words ... 1 1/3 cups of water is now 3/4 c. juice & adding enough water to equal the 1 1/3 c. of water required, or whatever the box indicates as liquid totals.

Prepare batter as indicated on box. Then add (1) drained 15 oz can of mandarin oranges, beat, pour into pan & bake, according to directions on box.

Cool.

Topping ~

(1) can of crushed pineapple

(1) pkg of instant vanilla jello pudding

(1) medium tub of cool whip

Mix the pineapple & pudding until the pudding is dissolved, toss in the cool whip & blend gently by hand, smother the cake ...

and go to heaven!!!

Now you can reverse the fruits to make a different version which goes over just as big & is as delicious. Decorate with sliced strawberries, blueberries, or other fruits, or flowers for that extra punch of color & fun!
