How to Make Creamsicle Cake Jello Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare your orange cake mix according to package directions. If using lemon cake mix, add 1 small (3 oz) package of orange flavored drink mix to the batter.
  3. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Once the cake is baked, let it cool completely in the pan. Use a fork to poke holes all over the top of the cake to help the gelatin absorb.
  5. While the cake is cooling, prepare the first layer of gelatin: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (3 ounce) package orange gelatin, 1 cup (240ml) boiling water, and 1 cup (240ml) cold water until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  6. Let the gelatin mixture stand for 5-10 minutes to slightly thicken.
  7. Gently pour the thickened gelatin over the cooled cake, ensuring it's evenly distributed. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
  8. In a separate bowl, prepare the second layer: Mix together 1 (3 ounce) package orange gelatin, 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix, 2 cups (475ml) milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  9. Gently fold in 1 (8 ounce) container of whipped topping.
  10. Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the set gelatin layer.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the topping is set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
