Dreamsicle Cake

Ingredients

• 1 (18.25 ounce) box orange supreme cake mix*
• 12 ounces prepared whipped topping
• 16 ounces sour cream
• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 small box orange gelatin

Instructions

1. Prepare the orange cake according to directions on package, and bake in two 9-inch round pans.
2. When done, cool the cake for 10 to 15 minutes in the pans, then remove and allow to cool completely on wax paper or rack.
3. When the cakes are cooled, slice each in half to produce four round layers.
4. Meanwhile, blend together the prepared whipped topping, sour cream and sugar in a large mixing bowl with a hand-held mixer.
5. Place the first layer of the orange cake on a serving dish. Cover generously with the whipped topping.
6. Repeat the process with other layers, making sure to use the white frosting between all layers except the top one.
7. Mix at least the half the orange gelatin POWDER into the remaining white frosting. Cover the top layer and the side of the cake with it.
8. Chill until serving time.
9. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Notes

* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
