Because my husband is such a wonderful dad, I wanted to make a favorite dessert for him for Father's Day.
Here's what he picked:
Orange Dreamsicle Cake
1 package Orange Supreme Cake Mix
12 oz. prepared whipped topping (Cool Whip)
16 oz. sour cream
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1 small package orange jello
Prepare the orange cake according to package directions, baking in two 9" pans. Allow cakes to cool completely when finished baking. Slice each cake in half to produce four round layers.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, fold together the whipped topping, sour cream, and confectioner's sugar.
Place the first layer of the orange cake on a serving dish. Cover generously with the white whipped frosting.
Repeat the process with the other layers, making sure to use the white frosting between all layers except the top one.
(Here you will notice that I have only 3 layers when the above instructions clearly say 4 layers.
But what you don't see in these pictures are the two little children flitting about my feet while I'm putting this cake together. So while I'm concentrating on frosting the layers in front of me, little people behind me are sneaking off with an entire layer of this cake for their snack!!! Hence, this cake only has 3 layers. You should have 4.)
Mix at least half of the orange jello powder into the remaining white frosting.
Cover the top and sides of the cake with the orange frosting.
Chill for several hours before serving.
(I made this cake the night before)
Make sure to keep any leftovers refrigerated!!
This tastes just like those heavenly orange push-up frozen treats that I used to get from the ice cream truck!
Light and lovely!!!
(Sorry there are no delightful pictures of the cut cake and happy family members enjoying it. Of course,
the batteries in my camera died just as I took the above photo and there wasn't a fresh battery to be found anywhere in the house. But trust me....it was delish!!!)
