Creamsicle Cake

Kelly E

Remember those orange-vanilla dreamsicle ice cream bars you loved as a kid? Well, this cake will give your taste buds flashbacks. Orange cake mix, orange gelatin, and whipped topping combine to create a perfect dreamsicle dessert.

1 box (18.25 ounce) orange cake mix
2 (3 ounce) packages orange gelatin
1 (3 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) container non-dairy whipped topping

1. Prepare cake mix according to package directions in a 9" x 13" pan. Cool. With a meat fork, poke holes all across the entire cake.
2. In a small bowl dissolve 1 box gelatin in 3/4 cup boiling water. Add 3/4 cup cold water. Pour gelatin evenly over top of cake, making sure it gets into all the holes. Refrigerate for several hours.
3. Mix remaining box of gelatin, pudding, milk, and vanilla together. Beat well. Fold in dessert topping. Spread topping evenly over the top of cake and refrigerate for several hours.
