Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).

In a medium bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, and melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even crust.
-
Bake the crust for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple, drained mandarin oranges, mayonnaise, and thawed whipped topping.
-
Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined and smooth.
-
Spread the creamy fruit mixture evenly over the cooled cake crust.
-
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set before serving.

Note
Ensure the pineapple and mandarin oranges are well-drained to prevent the filling from becoming too watery.
For a dairy-free option, substitute the mayonnaise with a dairy-free alternative and use a dairy-free whipped topping.
This dessert tastes best when made a day ahead, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
The "eggs" listed in the original ingredient list are typically used in the crust for binding, though some variations omit them for a simpler no-cook crust using just butter and mix. The instructions above include them for a firmer crust.
