Orange Creamsicle Cake
Orange Creamsicle Cake is a refreshing dessert made with a box cake mix soaked in orange gelatin and topped with creamy orange icing.
Equipment
- oven
- 1 9x13" pan
Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix plus eggs, oil and water as called for on the box
- 1 3-ounce box orange gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water
- 2 cups orange sherbet divided
- 1 3.4-ounce box instant vanilla pudding mix
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 8-ounce tub whipped topping
- mandarin oranges for garnish if desired
Instructions
- Prepare and bake the cake according to the package instructions in a greased 9x13" pan.
- While the cake is still hot, poke holes in the cake with the end of a wooden spoon or with a straw.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, boil one cup of water. Stir in the orange gelatin until dissolved. Stir in one cup of the orange sherbet until melted.
- Pour over the cake slowly, allowing the mixture to soak into the holes; refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- In a large mixing bowl, melt the remaining cup of orange sherbet. Add the milk and pudding mix and whisk; let it set for a couple minutes to allow the pudding to thicken.
- Add the whipped topping and fold in until smooth and well-combined.
- Spread over the cooled cake and garnish with mandarin oranges, if desired.
Notes
Try using different flavors of gelatin and sherbet/sorbet! Cover the cake and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
