Creamsicle Cake

The combination of orange and vanilla has been used for centuries; it's
most popular form is in a Creamsicle or Dreamsicle; those frozen treats
kids love. This dessert replicates those flavors for a cool treat.

1 (18 ounce) package yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup oil
2 (3 ounce) packages orange flavored gelatin, divided
3/4 cup boiling water
1 cup cold water
1 (3 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding (no cook type)
1 cup whole milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 Tbsp. powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare cake mix as directed on package,
using eggs, orange juice, and oil. Spray 13x9" pan with baking spray and
add cake batter. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-40 minutes until cake
springs back when touched and starts to pull away from sides of pan. Cool
cake completely on wire rack. Using a wooden chopstick, poke small holes
all over the cake, going right to bottom of pan. In a small bowl, place 1
box orange gelatin. Pour boiling water over gelatin and stir until gelatin
is completely dissolved. Add 1 cup cold water and mix well. Slowly pour
this mixture over the cake, making sure that the mixture gets into all the
holes. Cover and chill for 2-4 hours. In medium bowl, combine 1 box orange
gelatin, the pudding mix, milk, and vanilla and beat well. In small bowl,
combine heavy cream and the powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks
form. Fold the cream mixture into the gelatin mixture and spread over
cake. Cover and refrigerate for 4-8 hours before serving.
