Ingredients

Scale
  • 15.25 ounces vanilla cake mix
  • 3 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup milk (or vanilla almond milk)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 3.4 ounces orange gelatin (substituted with plant-based gelling agent)
  • 1 ¼ cup boiling water
  • ⅓ cup fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 15 ounces can of mandarin oranges (do not drain)
  • 3.5 ounces vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, blend the vanilla cake mix, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and orange zest on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Pour into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Bake for 28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow cooling for 10 minutes before poking holes across the surface using a wooden spoon handle.
  3. In a separate bowl, dissolve orange gelatin in boiling water and stir in fresh squeezed orange juice. Pour this mixture over the warm cake to soak into the holes.
  4. Once cooled completely, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix with milk as directed on the package. Fold in whipped topping and spread over the cake. Top with mandarin oranges for garnish.
