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
Garnish:
- mandarin oranges, for garnish (if desired)
Instructions
- Prepare Cake: Prepare and bake the cake according to the package instructions in a greased 9×13″ pan.
- Poke Holes: While the cake is still hot, poke holes in the cake with the end of a wooden spoon or with a straw.
- Orange Gelatin Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, boil one cup of water. Stir in the orange gelatin until dissolved. Stir in one cup of the orange sherbet until melted. Pour over the cake slowly, allowing the mixture to soak into the holes; refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Creamy Topping: In a large mixing bowl, melt the remaining cup of orange sherbet. Add the milk and pudding mix and whisk; let it set for a couple of minutes to allow the pudding to thicken. Add the whipped topping and fold in until smooth and well-combined.
- Finish: Spread the creamy topping over the cooled cake and garnish with mandarin oranges, if desired.
