Ingredients
Scale
Cake:
- 1 box white cake mix (plus eggs, oil, and water as called for on the box)
Orange Gelatin Mixture:
- 1 3-ounce box orange gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water
- 2 cups orange sherbet (divided)
Creamy Topping:
- 1 3.4-ounce box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 8-ounce tub whipped topping
- Mandarin oranges, for garnish (if desired)
Instructions
- Prepare and bake the cake: Follow the instructions on the white cake mix box to prepare the cake in a greased 9×13″ pan.
- Poke holes in the hot cake: While the cake is still hot, use the end of a wooden spoon or a straw to poke holes all over.
- Make the Orange Gelatin Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, dissolve the orange gelatin in boiling water. Mix in one cup of the orange sherbet until melted. Pour this mixture over the hot cake, ensuring it soaks into the holes. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Prepare the Creamy Topping: In a large mixing bowl, melt the remaining cup of orange sherbet. Add milk and pudding mix, whisking until well combined. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken. Fold in the whipped topping until smooth.
- Finish the cake: Spread the creamy topping over the cooled cake. Garnish with mandarin oranges if desired.
Notes
- You can customize this cake by using different flavors of gelatin and sherbet for a variety of combinations.
- For a twist, try adding some freshly sliced oranges on top for added citrus flavor and decoration.
