Ingredients:
Cake Layer:
3/4 cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
6 tbsp salted butter, at room temperature
2 egg whites
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk
3 tbsp hot water
3 tbsp orange JELLO powder
Ice Cream Layers:
12 oz cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
12 oz Cool Whip
Remaining orange JELLO powder from a 3 oz package, minus 3 tbsp
2 tbsp hot water
2 tsp vanilla extract
Additional:
8 oz Cool Whip for icing
Orange candy slices for decoration
Orange gel icing color (optional)
Directions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a springform pan.
Prepare Cake Layer: Combine flour, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl. Mix in softened butter until crumbly, then add egg whites, vanilla extract, sour cream, and milk. Dissolve orange JELLO in hot water and fold into the batter.
Bake Cake Layer: Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly, then poke holes in the cake and spread the dissolved JELLO evenly over it.
Prepare Ice Cream Layers: Beat cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Gradually add milk and fold in Cool Whip. Divide the mixture in half. Mix one half with the remaining orange JELLO powder and the other half with vanilla extract.
Assemble Cake: In the springform pan, layer the cake with the orange JELLO-infused cream cheese mixture, followed by the vanilla cream cheese mixture. Freeze until set.
Final Touches: Once the cake is set, ice with Cool Whip and decorate with orange candy slices. For added color, mix orange gel icing color with the Cool Whip before icing.
Serve: Slice and serve to enjoy a burst of citrusy sweetness!
