I have made Jello poke cakes for more years than I can remember. The first ones were always layered, but I decided to try it in a 9x13 pan. This made it easier to serve. Also was easier to carry to picnics or potluck dinners. Everywhere I bring it, I am asked for the recipe. Hope you also will like it. This is best made the night before, then frost the next day.

How To Make orange dreamsicle cake

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9x13 pan/dish

Step 2

2. Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions. Bake 25-35 minutes, depending how hot your oven runs.
Step 3

3. Take out and cool about 15 minutes.
Step 4

4. With the end of a wooden spoon poke holes in cake about one inch apart. [I prefer to use a meat fork as to poke holes all around the edges, plus you'll get more Jello into the cake]
Step 5

5. In a bowl, whisk the large pkg. Jello into the boiling water until well mixed, about 2 minutes. Then stir in the cold water.
Step 6

6. Pour the jello evenly all over the cake. Refrigerate the cake at least 4 hours, preferably overnite.
Step 7

7. After it sets up, then make the frosting for the cake.
Step 8

8. In a bowl, whisk together the dry pudding and jello mixes.
Step 9

9. Pour in the milk and vanilla and whisk about 2 minutes or until it thickens.
Step 10

10. Fold in the Cool Whip. - Frost the cake.
Step 11

Note: Most any other flavor of Jello could be used, lemon, lime, strawberry, raspberry, etc.
