I usually try to watch what I eat. Especially now. Since quitting smoking 100 or so days ago I've gained 10-14 pounds depending on the day!!! Just started trying to get rid of that extra weight but I must admit to having an insatiable sweet tooth. I try not to deny myself anything because I know if I don't have that chocolate, cookie, or cake now, when I do have it, I will eat the entire cake instead of just a piece. So normally, I'll try 'lighter' desserts - no flour or sugar cupcakes, banana bread with yogurt & apple sauce instead of sour cream and oil etc. But over Easter I made a Creamsicle cake - and let me tell you, it was amazing!!!! After we were done stuffing our faces I put the remaining cake in the freezer, out of sight out of mind right? That damn cake seems to be calling my name everyday! So far I have resisted, but I can not keep that cake out of my head it was that good. So here's the recipe. As usual simple, cheap and easy but in the case, also delicious :)
Orange Creamsicle Cake:
1 pkg cake mix - golden or vanilla
2 pkgs orange jello
1 pkg instant vanilla pudding
1 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla (imitation is fine)
1 small tub Cool Whip
Directions:
- Bake the cake as directed in a 9x13 pan. Let the cake cool completely and then poke holes in it. I just used the end of a wooden spoon and randomly poked holes
- Mix 1 pkg of the orange jello with 1 cup boiling water and 1 cup cold water. Pour the jello mixture over the cake. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours
- Use a whisk to mix pudding with cold milk, other pkg of jello, and vanilla until thickened. Fold in the cool whip. Frost the cake with this mixture
- ENJOY!!!!
