I had this cake in a restaurant once, and I vowed to figure it out. Figure it out, I did.
I love orange flavors, and I especially like them with chocolate. See my chocolate addition (especially for Halloween) below the recipe.
Orange Dreamsicle Cake
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 vanilla or yellow cake mix
- 1 can orange pop
- 2 packages orange gelatin
- 1 small package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces whipped topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Mix cake mix with orange pop and eggs.
- Prepare 9X13 cake pan by spraying with non-stick spray or rubbing pan with butter.
- Pour batter into pan. Bake 20 -30 minutes at 350 degrees.
- When cake is done, poke holes in the cake with fork that has been sprayed with non-stick spray or rubbed with butter.
- Dissolve 1 package of orange jello in 1 cup of hot water. Add 1 cup of cold water, stir.
- Pour entire mixture over the cake. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours
- Mix vanilla pudding mix and the other pack of jello (dry) together. Add milk and vanilla. Mix well. Whisk in thawed whipped topping. Use this mixture to frost the cake.
Notes
Keep cake refrigerated.
Halloween Twist on the Orange Dreamsicle Cake
Wouldn’t it be great to use a chocolate ganache similar to the one in this recipe to cover the orange frosting? You could top it with Halloween Oreos, and you have a gorgeous holiday-themed dessert.
Sounds like a good excuse to have people over this weekend, doesn’t it?

Wow – that is a very impressive looking cake! I wish I was better at baking and decorating – but it’s just not my best thing.

We absolutely love creamsicles, so this is something I am going to have to try. It turned out adorable for Halloween.

I like orange and chocolate too. Maybe I could turn this into a Thanksgiving cake. I'll throw a turkey on top.
