Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- 1 cup of orange juice
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 small box of orange jello
- 1 cup of whipped cream
- 1/2 cup of vanilla frosting
- Zest of 1 orange
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch cake pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, orange juice, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix according to the package instructions until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
