  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 1 box of orange cake mix (plus required ingredients: typically water, eggs, oil)
  • 1 (3 oz) package of orange gelatin
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 (8 oz) container of whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 (3.4 oz) package of instant vanilla pudding mix

Instructions

 

  1. Prepare the Cake: Bake the orange cake mix in a 9×13 inch pan according to the package instructions. Let it cool completely.
  2. Poke and Pour: Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes across the entire cake. Dissolve the orange gelatin in boiling water, stir in cold water, and pour over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.

  4. Assemble: Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the gelatin-soaked cake.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Decorate with orange slices and zest before serving. Keep the cake refrigerated until ready to serve.
