Creamsicle Cake - Jello Cake

This cake is light and incredible! I brought it to work and my co workers scarfed it up! I also tried it with lemon cake mix and lime jello...only unfortunately I wasn't as focused as I should of been, so the jello started to set! YIKES...I was horrified, but I whipped it and used it anyway...and we had a glorious cake striped with congealed lime jello. So DON"T panic if it happens to you...it can work out!

This cake is good. Made it last night for dessert and had a slice but It really didn't do anything for me until this morning. I was making my lunch and decided to bring a slice with me. After cutting into it there was a little left on the knife. You would have thought I was tasting it for the first time. I wanted to dig right in right then and there! Maybe I just wasn't in the mood after smelling it cook and mixing everything together but this morning was a whole different story. Great cake and easy to make! Thanks for posting!

MMMMM...GOOD!! This cake is delicious and very light. I highly recommend it. I think I will make it with strawberry jell-o and strawberry cake mix and garnish with strawberry halves.

I made this for a friend of mine who loves orange dreamsicles. She loved it. It's very orangey and has a refreshing quality about it -- a nice Summer dessert. I decorated the top with Jelly Bellies and it looked so pretty. This would be great for a Baby Shower.

I feel like I need to rate this cake for all the people out there that are unfamiliar with making geletin. The directions say to just mix hot water and cold water in with the geletin and pour on the cake. Well...I went against my better judgement and did just that even though the mixture was really like water. The cake ended up so watery it fell apart when you cut into it. Also the top of the cake managed to congeal to the frosting, so it was like a gummy worm stuck to the frosting when you cut in to it. I'm not giving this any stars but only a warning to anyone who might be out there like me who never made gelatin before. Read the directions on the box. It says to mix one cup boiling water, with gelatin for two minutes then add the one cup cold. This will allow it to thicken somewhat before pouring on the cake. :)

I used a white cake mix because I was afraid that using an orange cake mix would be too much orange. Followed the rest of the recipe exactly. This cake is super, super, 5+ stars yummy!!! The icing is sooo good (my mom and I couldn't keep our fingers out of it!) Next time I will try it with the orange cake mix, as I did not find the orange taste to be overwhelming at all. Perfect, light summer cake. Thanks so much, Melanie! ~Manda

What else can you say about this recipe but FANTASTIC!! This recipe is light and refreshing. My husband is a big creamsicle lover and this hit the spot. It complemented my dinner tonight. I made Chili Cheesy Creamy Chickey Crockpot #37968 over white rice and mixed vegetables as our side. Thanks for posting. This will be a summer regular in our house.

This might be the single most delicious piece of cake I have ever eaten in my entire life! I made a couple of minor changes, I only used one package of orange gelatin to pour over the cake itself, and I added a teaspoon of pure orange extract to the cool whip/vanilla pudding mixture instead of a package of gelatin. It came out so superb that I would make it the exact same way again. I often make an "orange julius" type of blended drink for my fiancee and he absolutely loves them, so when I saw a creamsicle cake recipe, I knew he'd love it. It makes for such a pretty cake when cut into also. I think this is perfect for summer time barbeques...I have a feeling I'll be making it a lot this summer. This is a super versatile recipe, I can't wait to try it with strawberry cake mix and gelatin, with fresh strawberries on top - yum! :-)

A 10 star cake!! This cake was loved by everyone at a B-day party of 15+ people. I made this for my niece's 4th B-day party. I was lucky to get to photograph a piece LOL cuz it was gone within 1/2 hour. What a great cake for a kids party, they loved it. So if you need a cake that will go well for kids, this is it. I am going to make it again in October for my Grandson's 1st B-day :) Thank you so much for this recipe. I made a boo boo, I forgot to mention that I used strawberry & banana jello instead of orange flavor, but other than that I did follow the recipe to a "T" with great results.

This super moist, creamy, great for a nice cool dessert in the summer, although I would like it any time of the year! I decorate the top with mandarin oranges it justs makes a great presentation! Thanks for a great one!

This was a delicious and moist cake that my whole family enjoyed. I used a lemon cake and orange jello. Thanks for posting a great recipe.

Delicious! I made this last weekend and it was fabulous. I used sugar free jello, sugar free pudding and fat free cool whip. Besides that I made as directed and it turned out perfectly. Thanks Melanie for this wonderful, refreshing dessert!

Everyone loved it. My husband who usually scrapes butter cream icing off my cakes LOVED the topping on this cake. I used lemon cake mix with a half packet of orange Koolaid. Like everyone says this is a great summer time dessert. Thanks Melanie !
I made this again...and again with a strawberry cake mix,and strawberry jello like Country Granny Judy suggested, and it was great also.

My kids loved it (but they pretty much love anything that has the word "cake" in it!). I thought it was good, but the cake was a bit too moist/wet for me.

I made this for my mom's office and it was a huge hit. Even my husband who normally doesn't like cake loved this cake. I will definitely make this again.

This was good...the only suggestion I have for other tasters is that I would use white/vanilla cake mix instead. I dont think they make orange cake mix anymore bc I looked all over for it. So I tried the lemon cake mix and orange kool aid method. It turned out bright orange and was just toooo tangy. The frosting was wonderful tho. I feel that white cake would even everything out where it would taste great and not be overpowering with orange flavor. 4 stars, but Im sure when I make it next time it will be 5 stars with the white cake instead! UPDATE: Made this again with french vanilla cake mix and it was better. It had the right balance of orange and vanilla. 4 stars! Very light and fluffy dessert.
