How to Make Best Orange Dreamsicle Cake

1. Set out 1 (8 ounce) container of Cool Whip to thaw at room temperature.
2. Prepare one 15.25 ounce box of your favorite white cake mix according to package directions for a 9x13 inch pan.
3. Once the cake is baked and cooled slightly, remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Poke holes all over the cake using a fork.
4. Prepare one 3 ounce package of orange Jell-O according to package directions using 1 cup of boiling water. Pour evenly over the warm cake.
5. Allow the Jell-O to set completely in the pan for at least 30 minutes.
6. In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 (5.1 ounce) package of instant vanilla pudding mix with 2 cups of milk using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
7. Stir in 1 teaspoon of orange extract and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix well.
8. Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until just combined. Do not overmix.
9. Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the set Jell-O layer.
10. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to chill completely before serving.
