Categories: Cake, Dessert

Ingredients

• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 4-serving size orange jello
• 1 box white cake mix
• 3/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup water
• 4 egg whites
• 1 12-oz. container whipped vanilla frosting
• 1 8-oz. container whipped topping, thawed

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray bottom only of 13×9 pan with baking spray with flour. In a small bow, mix boiling water and gelatin until gelatin is completely dissolved. Cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

2. In a large bowl, beat cake mix, 1/4 cup gelatin mixture, 1/4 cup orange juice concentrate, oil, water, and egg whites with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan. Reserve remaining gelatin mixture and orange juice concentrate.

3. Bake 30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Poke warm cake every inch with a fork. Place 1 T. of the reserved gelatin mixture in microwavable custard cup or small bowl; set aside. Into remaining gelatin mixture, stir remaining 1/2 cup orange juice concentrate; pour slowly over cake. Cool cake completely, about 1 hour.

4. In medium bowl, gently stir together frosting and whipped topping; frost cake. Microwave 1 T. gelatin mixture uncovered on high 10 seconds to liquefy. Using 1/4 teaspoon measuring spoon, place small drops of gelatin mixture over frosting. With spoon or toothpick, swirl gelatin into frosting. Store in refrigerator.
