Fruity Cake

Sandie McBreairty's recipe
1 yellow cake mix
1/4 cup plain applesauce
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
4 eggs
11-oz can mandarin oranges with juice
20-oz can crushed pineapple
1 pkg vanilla instant-pudding
8 oz cool-whip

Preheat oven to 350. Grease bottom (or use parchment paper) of rectangular pan (or cookie sheet with sides if wanting to do a layered cake). Mix first 6 ingredients and 1/2 the crushed pineapple. Mix until just blended, pour into prepared pan. Bake 30-40 minutes, depending on thickness (toothpick test will tell you when it's done). Mix rest of crushed pineapple, pudding and cool-whip, refrigerate until ready to frost- wait at least an hour after cake cools before frosting, otherwise the frosting melts into the cake.
