How to Make Best Orange Creamsicle Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake your favorite orange cake recipe in the prepared pan. (Recipe not included, use your preferred recipe or a boxed mix). Cool completely.
- Once cooled, poke holes all over the cake using a meat fork.
- In a medium bowl, prepare one (3 oz) package of orange Jell-O according to package directions, using only ¾ of the recommended water. Let it sit until it begins to thicken (about 5-10 minutes).
- Slowly pour the slightly thickened Jell-O mixture over the cooled cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
- Refrigerate the cake until the Jell-O is completely set (at least 2 hours).
- While the cake chills, prepare the cream cheese frosting: In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces of cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add 1 (3.4 oz) package of instant orange pudding mix, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 (3 oz) package of dry orange Jell-O to the cream cheese. Beat until well combined.
- Gently fold in 1 (8 ounce) container of whipped topping.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the set Jell-O layer.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
- Enjoy your incredibly delicious Orange Creamsicle Cake!
