Ingredients

  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cup cold orange soda
  • 3.5 ounces orange gelatin mix
  • 3/4 cup boiling water
  • 12 ounces whipped topping
  • Orange sprinkles (for garnish)

Instructions

Bake the Cake

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Mix: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, oil, and egg whites using an electric mixer on low speed until well blended.
  3. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool: Let the cake cool in the baking dish.

Make the Filling

  1. Dissolve Gelatin: Bring 3/4 cup of water to a boil. Dissolve the orange gelatin powder in the hot water, then add the cold orange soda.
  2. Poke and Pour: Using a fork or skewer, poke holes in the cooled cake at ½ inch intervals. Pour the gelatin mixture evenly over the top. Allow the cake to cool for about an hour.

Add the Topping and Chill

  1. Spread Topping: Spread the whipped topping evenly over the cake.
  2. Chill and Serve: Chill the cake in the fridge for a couple of hours, then sprinkle with orange sprinkles just before serving.

Helpful Tips

  • For easier cutting, make sure to chill the cake thoroughly before serving.
  • For more intense flavor, consider using a flavored whipped topping or adding a few drops of orange extract to the whipped topping.

Substitutions/Variations

  • Cake Mix: Feel free to use any white or yellow cake mix of your choice.
  • Soda: Experiment with other fruit-flavored sodas like lemon-lime for a fun twist.
  • Gelatin: Raspberry or strawberry gelatin can provide a different yet delightful flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use homemade cake instead of a boxed mix?

Absolutely! If you have a preferred white or yellow cake recipe, feel free to use it.

How long does it take for the gelatin to set in the cake?

It generally takes about an hour for the gelatin to fully set in the cake, but chilling it in the refrigerator speeds up the process.

Can I freeze this cake?

Yes, you can freeze it without the whipped topping. Just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil.

Storage Instructions

Keep the cake chilled in the refrigerator. Covered well, it will stay fresh for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze it before adding the whipped topping.
