Orange Creamsicle Poke Cake

Ingredients

1 white cake mix
1 cup orange juice
1 – 6 ounce box of orange Jell-o
2 cups boiling water
1 – 3.4 ounce box instant vanilla pudding
1 cup milk
1 – 8 ounce container Cool Whip
Mandarin Oranges (optional)

Directions
Mix the cake mix according to the back of the box, but substitute orange juice in place of the water. Bake cake as directed. Remove from oven and poke holes all over the top with a fork. Your child will love poking holes! Dissolve the orange Jell-o in boiling water. Let cool 5 minutes. Invite your child to help you spoon all of the Jell-o over the top of the cake, making sure it goes in the holes. Cool completely in the refrigerator. Whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk. Fold in the Cool Whip. Spread over the top of the cooled cake. Cut into 24 pieces. Garnish with mandarin oranges, if desired. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Enjoy!
