10 servings

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
  • 0.5 cup butter, softened
  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 0.5 cup orange juice
  • 0.33300000429153 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons grated orange zest
  • 1 (16 ounce) can prepared vanilla frosting
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 3 tablespoons grated orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch pans. Combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, walnuts, and butter. Divide mixture evenly between the prepared pans. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together cake mix, water, orange juice, and oil until blended. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in orange zest. Pour mixture evenly over crunch layer in the pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean. Allow to cool in pans for 10 minutes; invert onto a wire rack and cool completely before frosting. Frost (crunch-side up) between layers, on top and sides. Arrange mandarin orange segments on top; refrigerate.
  • To make frosting: In a medium bowl, beat vanilla frosting until light and fluffy; mix in whipped topping. Stir in orange and lemon zest. Use frosting on completely cooled cake layers.
