I swear this cake was at every single party I went to as a child (I grew up in Georgia!), but I don’t see it much now that I live in Pennsylvania

This Classic Pig Pickin’ Cake is a beloved Southern staple, famous for its incredibly moist and tender crumb infused with mandarin oranges, topped with a light, creamy, and fruity pineapple-pudding frosting. It’s a sunshine-filled dessert that’s easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
