Mandarin Orange Cake

Thanks to Nancy Likens of Wooster, Ohio, who shared this family-favorite recipe with us...it's a keeper!
18-1/2 oz. pkg. white cake mix
11-oz. can mandarin oranges,
    drained and juice reserved
3 egg whites
1/2 c. oil
2 8-oz. cans crushed pineapple
3-1/2 oz. pkg. instant vanilla
    pudding mix
8-oz. container frozen whipped
    topping, thawed
1 c. sweetened flaked coconut,
    divided
Combine cake mix, reserved juice, egg whites and oil. Blend with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, until creamy. Fold in oranges; pour into a greased and floured 13"x9" baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Place pan on a wire rack to cool completely. Pour pineapple and its juice into a medium bowl; stir in pudding mix. Fold in whipped topping and 1/2 cup coconut. Mix well; chill while cake is cooling. Spread over top and sides; sprinkle with remaining coconut. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated. Serves 12.
