Orange Cake Dessert

[Karen21]

Hello,

I'm looking for a recipe that consists of a cake bottom, not sure if it was a white cake mix with orange jello poured over it, or an orange cake mix. It was covered with a layer of whipped cream or cool whip, a layer of mandarin oranges and sprinkled with chocolate. Do anyone have a recipe similar to this they wouldn't mind sharing. It was delicious.

Thanks

This is delicious!!! I think the first version was actually made with all regular jello and.. regular pudding.. and grated chocolate on top, instead of the almonds.. BUT trust me you don't need all of that. You can NOT tell its all sugar free stuff. Lemme know what you think!

enjoy!!!

prepare and bake cake according to package directions, using an ungreased 10 in tube pan. Immediately invert tube pan cool completely.

It sounds like one of those poke cakes. I've seen several recipes, but don't remember an orange one. If that is what it is the cake is baked usually in a 9 x 13 pan or dish. When cake is done, holes are punched with a wooden spoon and the jello, or other mixture poured over and chilled, then whipped topping is put on top. I've never had a flavor that wasn't delicious, so I know the orange one would be too.
