• In a large bowl, cream shortening, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla together; beat until light and fluffy. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture alternately with milk, making 3 dry and 2 liquid additions; combine lightly after each. Spread batter evenly into 2 greased and floured 8 inch round layer cake pans.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan 10 minutes, then turn out on wire rack to cool completely.

Decorate top with a ring of well drained mandarin orange segments around outside edge. Fill center with well drained crushed pineapple. Decorate center with a few additional orange sections.

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9"x13" baking dish with cooking spray. Combine the crushed pineapple, mandarin oranges, cornstarch, salt, and sugar in the pan. Mix well and sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over fruit. Melt butter in microwave and pour evenly over cake mix. Sprinkle with coconut and nuts if desired.
• 2. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until light golden brown. You want it to get bubbly around the edges, so cover it with foil before it gets too brown. Let stand for 10-15 minutes and serve warm or cool with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
• 3. Variation: Blackberry - I mix 3 bags (12 oz each) of frozen blackberries with 3/4 to 1 cup sugar (to your taste) with a dash of salt and 2 Tbl cornstarch mixed with 1/2 cup cold water..then proceed as above with the cake mix, butter, coconut and nuts. Bake as above. Enjoy a delicious cobbler type dessert without all the work.
• 4. ** If you wish to make this a low sugar dessert, use sugar free yellow cake mix and replace all sugar with Stevia in the Raw and a little Agave nectar. I personally like to use a combo of SF sweeteners for better flavor, so add a little coconut sugar or brown sugar. The addition of 1/4 cup makes the flavor better and when the cake is divided into 12-15 servings, it doesn't seem to spike my blood sugars.

Steps:

• Combine the well drained oranges and pineapple in a large bowl and mix together with the cottage cheese. Add the dry orange flavored gelatin powder and stir until well blended. Fold in the thawed frozen whipped topping and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350º Mix first 4 ingredients, grease and flour a 9 X 13 pan, bake for 30 minutes, let cake cool.
• 2. Mix the crushed pineapple with the vanilla pudding, fold in the cool whip, spread over the cooled cake. Arrange the mandarin oranges to look like a mandarin orange and add green gummy worms to look like stems. Put in refrigerator and chill until topping sets. You can make this cake a day in advance and put it in the freezer, then take it out and let it thaw and serve COLD...Mmmm...good!
