Orange Pineapple Sunshine Cake

I found this recipe in a cookbook that my mom made for me so I am pretty sure it is not an original but when I asked her if it is good she said, "I have never made that cake before".  So, I decided to whip it up and take it to the lake to share, especially since it only calls for apple sauce and has no real "fat".
