Best Orange Creamsicle Cake

Posted by Ocean~Ivy  

I've made this for a potluck and got rave reviews. I could not find the orange cake so I used a yellow cake mix. One time I also added one packet of unsweetened orange cool aid to the cake to make it orange. Thanks for a great easy recipe — Amy in Hawaii Jun 21, 2009

This soup is good, but does lack the zing without the fresh ingredients. Kaffir lime leaves, lemon grass, fresh hot chili's if you cannot find Thai hot, then even serrano or cayenne would do ok. Galangal ginger is more fragrant, but I have... — Amy in Hawaii Nov 20, 2008
