How to Make Dreamsicle Creamsicle Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the orange juice, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  8. In a large bowl, gently fold the frozen Cool Whip directly into the frosting ingredients until combined. Do not thaw.
  9. Frost the cooled cake and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
