Pig Pickin' Cake RECIPE COURTESY OF REE DRUMMOND Level: Easy Total: 3 hr 55 min (includes cooling time) Active: 30 min Yield: 16 servings Ingredients Cake: Nonstick baking spray, for the pan One 18.25-ounce box yellow cake mix 8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, softened 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 large eggs One 23.5-ounce jar mandarin oranges, drained and 1/2 cup juice reserved Topping: 4 ounces cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar 1 1/2 cups chilled heavy cream 2 teaspoons vanilla extract One 20-ounce can crushed pineapple, drained Directions For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch cake pan with baking spray. Combine the cake mix, butter, vanilla, eggs and 1/2 cup reserved mandarin juice in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat for 4 minutes on medium-high speed. Add 1 1/2 cups of the drained orange slices and beat again until the oranges have broken into small pieces, about 1 minute. Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan and bake until golden brown and set, 25 to 27 minutes. Allow to cool completely, then turn out onto a large platter. For the topping: Cream together the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the mixture to a small bowl. Add the cream and vanilla to the stand mixer bowl and switch to the whisk attachment, then whip until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Add the cream cheese mixture, distributing it evenly around the bowl. Whip until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Fold in the pineapple. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Garnish with the remaining mandarin orange slices. https://www.instagram.com/thepioneerwoman/ https://twitter.com/thepioneerwoman https://www.facebook.com/thepioneerwoman/ Subscribe to our channel to fill up on the latest must-eat recipes, brilliant kitchen hacks and content from your favorite Food Network shows. ► FOOD NETWORK KITCHEN APP: http://foodtv.com/FNKApp ► WEBSITE: https://www.foodnetwork.com ► FULL EPISODES: https://watch.foodnetwork.com ► FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/FoodNetwork ► INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/FoodNetwork ► TWITTER: https://twitter.com/FoodNetwork #ThePioneerWoman #ReeDrummond #FoodNetwork #PigPickinCake The Pioneer Woman Makes a Pig Pickin' Cake | The Pioneer Woman | Food Network https://youtu.be/4SZZ_nUiaHs
