I made this cake in two round pans and inverted them onto plates. This way, I could keep one cool while the other was out to serve for the picnic. The cakes were beautiful and those who ate it inhaled theirs. I accidentally bought sugar free orange jello, but it worked out just fine and I used skim milk with the pudding. I figure regular milk would have made it fluffier, but it was enjoyed just the same. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!!!

    My mother just made this cake on Sunday and it is amazing. It is so light and tasty. I tastes just like an orange creamscicle.

    My mom used to make something like this in different flavors when I was a kid. My kids loved this and want me to make it again. I couldn't find orange cake mix so used lemon and it worked out fine. Thanks for reminding me of this recipe so I could make it for my kids.

    So good! And it really does taste like a dreamsicle! This is the easiest dessert and perfect for any occasion. Only change I made was to use French vanilla pudding mix, just because it had it on hand. By the way, the orange jello adds moistness but it does not make the cake wet. Thanks, Marsha, for sharing your recipe!
