Creamsicle Cake

[Bay_Kat]

This looks really tasty.

Ingredients:

1 Pkg Yellow Cake Mix
2 Pk Orange Gelatin
1 Pk Vanilla Instant Pudding
1 Cup 2% Milk
2 Grade A Large Eggs
2 Tsp Imitation Vanilla
1 Tub Whipped Topping

Directions:

Bake the cake as directed in a 9 x 13" pan. Let cake cool completely. Poke holes in cooled cake. Mix 1 package orange gelatin dessert with 1 c. boiling water and 1 c. cold water. Pour over cake. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours. Mix pudding mix with cold milk the other package of orange gelatin dessert and vanilla. Beat by hand with a whisk until thickened. Fold in the whipped topping. Frost the cake with the pudding mixture.
***
For a layered Creamsicle Cake: Make the cake batter as directed, then batter pour evenly into 3 round 9" cake pans. Bake cakes as directed and let cool

. Then, make the orange gelatin as directed on the package — but with this version, you'll let the gelatin set up instead of pouring it into the cake. We recommend using your round cake pans, or using a 13 x 17" jelly roll pan (1" deep cookie sheet with edges). Once you pour the liquid gelatin mixture into the pans, it will need to be refrigerated for about 4 hours. Meanwhile, make the pudding mixture according to the original recipe. Finally, layer in this order: cake, gelatin pudding mixture. Repeat once more for a 6-layered Creamsicle Cake. —

That looks delicious!

I made a cake very similar to this last week, and it was delicious. The one I made was a Red Zinger Cake, which was waaayyy better than the Twinkie Red Zinger it was trying to replicate.

White cake, red raspberry jell-o, seedless red raspberry jam, Cool Whip, and shredded coconut.

Damn, it was *that* good.

I'll only taste it, then give some to my neighbors, my daughter will eat some and my husband might have a taste. I only do these to see how they are for party planning.

I enjoy baking and cooking for others. I enjoy food more when someone else cooks it.

It sounds good except for 2 things. I am not a 2% gal and why would anyone use imitation vanilla?

I'm dying to hear how it tastes. Creamsicles are my favorite!

If you like creamsicle, it was perfect. I did not use 2% and I did not use imitation vanilla and it was perfect. Not sure why the recipe calls for those two things. To me 2% always seems to make pudding thin, so I used regular milk.
