This is a creamsicle cake recipe I've had for years. It's so good.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This creamsicle cake will bring back childhood memories of buying a treat from the ice cream truck. The cake is moist and full of orange flavor. The topping is creamy with a touch of orange flavor mixed with vanilla - the classic creamsicle flavor. Refreshing, this cake is perfect for any summer gathering.

How To Make creamsicle cake

Test Kitchen Tips
Orange cake mix is hard to find. Make your own by adding 3 Tbsp of orange gelatin to a vanilla cake mix. We also added a drop of orange food coloring to the topping for a nice presentation.
  • Punching holes in a baked cake.
    1
    Mix cake as directed on the box for a 9x13" pan. Cool. Punch holes with a meat fork.
  • Orange gelatin combined with hot water and cold water.
    2
    Mix Jell-o with boiling water. Stir until the mix is dissolved. Add cold water.
  • Gelatin mixture poured over the holes in the cake.
    3
    Pour the Jell-o over the cake making sure it goes into the holes. Refrigerate the cake for 1 hour to set.
  • Vanilla pudding mixed with milk and orange extract.
    4
    TOPPING: Mix pudding with milk. Add a few drops of orange flavoring to taste.
  • Folding whipped topping into pudding.
