Ingredients
  

  • 1 package vanilla cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup milk or vanilla almondmilk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 package orange JELLO
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • ½ cup fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 1 can mandarin oranges canned
  • 1 package vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 1 container Cool Whip or whipped cream

Method
 

  1. Prepare the vanilla cake mix according to the package directions, substituting water with vanilla almondmilk and folding in orange zest. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan and bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes.
  2. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. Poke holes all over the top of the cooled cake with a skewer, spacing about an inch apart.
  4. Dissolve orange JELLO in boiling water, then mix in fresh squeezed orange juice. Pour over the poked cake and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  5. Combine canned mandarin oranges with syrup and vanilla instant pudding mix in a bowl, stirring well.
  6. Fold in Cool Whip gently into the mandarin orange mixture until smooth.
  7. Spread the orange-vanilla frosting over the cooled, JELLO-soaked cake.
  8. Refrigerate the frosted cake for at least 30 minutes before serving.
