This is the same recipe I have and it really does taste a lot like a creamsicle. The Duncan Hines recipe site also has a good cake but the orange supreme cake is hard to find. I did find a couple of boxes marked down at Walmart, but I usually use one packet orange kool aid without the sugar and a yellow cake mix instead of the hard to find orange supreme. A box of vanilla pudding added to the cake mix makes it a lot moister. I also had problems finding orange extract so using a second box of orange jello in the frosting gave the frosting a nice orange color and flavor. I make this anytime, who waits for summer. -
What a fabulous cake. It was so light and creamy. 5 star recipe. Thanks for posting. -
Great cake! Taste like a push up. I even made it with sugar free jello and pudding mix. So easy and refreshing. A fun summer cake. -

Hmm... let's see.. Cooking is my passion... I'm retired now and able to cook and bake every day. I think the most helpful cookbook that I own would have to be The New Doubleday Cookbook. I just love kitchen gadgets and have many of them. Besides cooking I love to sing and belong to the Sweet Adeline's International.
I get very annoyed at people who are LATE! I think it's just as easy to be late as it is to be on time.
Well.. thanks to all of you at Zaar for all of your terrific recipes and ideas that bring my friends and family much joy and happiness. They get to try all of my new recipes.
