Creamsicle Cake
Does anyone remember orange creamsicles?
With these major ingredients you can make a cake that has a similar flavor. I made it for our Easter brunch today and thought it was quite good.
Orange Creamsicle Cake
1 Duncan Hines Orange Supreme Cake Mix
1 bottle orange Faygo (use some in the mix and 1 cup for the jello that is poured over the cake)
2 4-serving packages orange Jell-o
1 package instant orange creme pudding (4-serving size) (can use vanilla if you can't find orange)
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1 tsp. vanilla (I used orange extract instead)
8-oz. Cool Whip (thawed)
Prepare cake mix according to package directions except use the orange soda in place of water. Spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray. Pour batter into pan. Bake 20 to 30 minutes at 350.
Let cool 5 minutes then poke holes in the cake with a metal skewer or a fork.
Mix 1 package of the orange jello with 1 cup of HOT water until dissolved. Add 1 cup orange soda, stir well and pour entire mixture over the cake.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Mix pudding mix and the other package of jello together (dry). Add 1 cup of milk and 1 tsp vanilla. Mix well. Blend in the thawed Cool Whip.If mixture seems a little thin, set in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes then frost the cake.
Store in the refrigerator.
Yummy-love creamsicles-what a sugary delight! How did you cake turn out-did it pass the creamsicle taste test?
