Description

A light, citrusy orange layer cake made with Duncan Hines Orange Cake Mix and orange Jello, split into four layers and filled with a dreamy frosting of sour cream, coconut, orange juice, and Cool Whip. Refrigerate and let it set — this cake gets better as it sits and the layers absorb the frosting.

Ingredients

Cake

Frosting

Instructions

  1. Mix all cake ingredients together and pour into two greased and floured 8- or 9-inch round pans. Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes until done. Cool on wire racks.
  2. Combine sour cream and coconut in a bowl. Set aside.
  3. Add sugar to the frozen orange juice and stir until dissolved.
  4. Mix the sour cream mixture and the orange juice mixture together. Fold in Cool Whip.
  5. Split each cake layer in half horizontally to create four layers.
  6. Spread frosting between all four layers and on the top and sides.
  7. Refrigerate until set before serving.

Note

The cake improves significantly after a few hours in the refrigerator — the layers absorb the frosting and become wonderfully moist.
