Prepare the Cake Batter:
- Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix package for a 9×13 inch pan.
- Follow the instructions on the cake mix box to prepare the batter.
- Bake the cake in the 9×13 inch pan as directed. Once baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.

Prepare the Gelatin Mixture:
- In a bowl, combine 1 box of orange gelatin with 1 cup of hot water and 1 cup of cold water.
- Stir well until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Allow the gelatin mixture to thicken slightly.
-
Prepare the Cake:
- Once the cake has cooled, use a fork to gently poke holes all over the top of the cake.
-
Apply the Gelatin Mixture:
- Carefully pour the prepared gelatin mixture over the top of the cake, ensuring that it seeps into the holes.
- Refrigerate the cake for 2-3 hours to allow the gelatin to set.
-
Prepare the Pudding Layer:
- In a separate bowl, combine the remaining box of gelatin, vanilla instant pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Beat the mixture until smooth and well combined.
-
Incorporate the Cool Whip:
- Gently fold the Cool Whip into the pudding mixture until evenly distributed.
- Ensure that the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Assemble the Cake:
- Once the gelatin layer has set on the cake, carefully spread the pudding mixture over the top.
- Ensure an even distribution of the pudding layer across the cake.
-
Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the completed Creamsicle Cake for at least an hour before serving.
- Keep the cake refrigerated until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
-
Optional Variation:
