How to Make Orange Dream Cake

  1. In a medium bowl, beat 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant orange pudding mix and 1 cup milk with a wire whisk or electric mixer on low speed for about 2 minutes, or until well blended.
  2. Gently fold in 8 ounces whipped topping.
  3. Reserve about 8 orange segments for garnish.
  4. Stir the remaining orange segments (approximately 1 cup, or 2-3 medium oranges, segmented) into the pudding mixture.
  5. Cover the pudding mixture and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  6. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  8. In a medium bowl, beat cake ingredients (see ingredient list for specifics) with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the bowl constantly.
  9. Beat on medium speed for 4 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally.
  10. Stir in 1/2 cup grated baking bar (such as a chocolate bar).
  11. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  12. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  14. Remove from pan and place on a cooling rack to cool completely (about 1 hour).
  15. Place the cake on a serving plate.
  16. Spoon the chilled pudding mixture onto the cake.
  17. Garnish with the reserved orange segments, sliced almonds (approximately 1/4 cup), and chocolate curls (approximately 2 tablespoons).
  18. Store covered in the refrigerator.
  19. **High Altitude Adjustment:** Use 1 ¾ cups Bisquick mix and ½ cup milk in the cake batter.
