Orange Creamsicle Cake

This is the second cake I made this morning for the shower tonight - this one's pretty and tasty, too.



FOR THE CAKE:

1 pkg. orange cake mix
1 (3 ox) pkg. orange Jello
1 (5 oz) vanilla instant pudding mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups milk

Preheat the oven to 360 degrees. Grease and flour three 9" cake pans. In a large bowl combine the cake mix, Jello, pudding mix, eggs, oil and milk and mix with an electric mixer for 3 minutes. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes then invert onto cooling racks and cool completely before frosting.


FOR FROSTING:

1 (8 oz) container of sour cream
1 cup sugar
1 (5 oz) pkg vanilla instant pudding mix
1 (12 oz) can crushed pineapple - drained
1 (6 oz) pkg frozen coconut - thawed
1 (8 oz) container frozen whipped topping - thawed

In a large bowl, mix the sour cream, sugar and pudding mix together by hand. Stir in the pineapple and coconut. Fold in the whipped topping.
Spread this mixture between the three layers and on top of cake. This cake must be refrigerated at least 1 hour before serving. You can also use mandarin orange sections on top of cake for garnish. This is moist, pretty and so good. Enjoy If desired, you can also make this as a sheet cake and it turns out beautifully. :wink:

:ohmy: Fallon!!!!! This sounds AMAZING!!!!!! Can you take a picture of it? Thank you so much for posting this. I love orange creamsicles so I'll definitely be giving this a try!
 
Hi, Mama - If Ian gets home before I have to leave for the party I'll try and get him to take a picture of both of the cakes. Otherwise, this will be a repeat performance in a week or two and I'll be sure to get it done then.
Another thing I've thought would be really pretty on this cake or the other one as well are tiny marzipan fruit shapes or tiny flowers of marzipan. Marzipan goes extremely well with this kind of thing and holds up in summer heat as best it can.

Wow, that does sound good. When I was young, and the icecream truck would come by I always ordered an orange creamsicle ice cream. ALWAYS!!!
