For an extra burst of orange flavor, consider adding 1 tablespoon of orange zest to the cake batter.
Ensure the crushed pineapple is thoroughly drained to prevent a soggy frosting.
If you don't have three 9-inch cake pans, you can bake the cake in two pans, but you may need to adjust the baking time.
Garnish with fresh mandarin orange segments or pineapple chunks for an elegant presentation.
