My rating:

This is a Dreamsicle version of the famous Better Than Sex Cake. If you like mandarin oranges, you'll love this. Please also look at my recipes for the Cherry-Chocolate, Lemon, Pineapple-Coconut, & Red Velvet versions of this cake!

Ingredients:

1 box orange cake mix (Duncan Hines "Orange Supreme" works great!)
10-oz Diet Orange Soda, Diet 7-Up, or a similar Diet Soda
1 egg white
2 (4-serving) boxes fat-free, sugar-free orange JELL-O
1 box SF instant vanilla pudding
1 cup hot water
1 cup cold water
1 cup fat-free milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup fat-free cool whip, thawed
8.25-oz can mandarin oranges, drained and patted dry with paper towel.

Directions:

Mix cake mix, egg white and diet soda. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes or until toothpick comes out smooth in a greased 9x13 pan. Take cake out of oven, and poke holes all over the top. Let cool. Stir 1 package of orange JELL-O into 1 cup hot water until dissolved, and then add 1 cup cold water. Pour entire mixture over cake. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours. Mix vanilla pudding mix and other pack of (dry) JELL-O together. Add 1 cup of fat-free milk and 1 tsp. vanilla extract. Mix well. Fold in cool whip and use this mixture to frost cake. Top with mandarin oranges. Keep cake refrigerated.

Yields: 24 pieces of cake.

Notes: The original recipe I got also called for a packet of Kool-Aid to be added to the cake mix, but I thought it was totally unnecessary. I didn't use it and the cake was delicious!
