1 pkg yellow cake mix
1 large pkg. instant orange jello [sugar free]
1 1/2 c boiling water
1 1/2 c cold water
1 small pkg. vanilla instant pudding [sugar free]
1 c 2% milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 small pkg. instant orange jello [sugar free]
1 8 oz. container cool whip, thawed [fat-free, if you prefer]

Steps:

1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9x13 pan/dish
2. 2. Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions. Bake 25-35 minutes, depending how hot your oven runs.
3. 3. Take out and cool about 15 minutes.
4. 4. With the end of a wooden spoon poke holes in cake about one inch apart. [I prefer to use a meat fork as to poke holes all around the edges, plus you'll get more Jello into the cake]
5. 5. In a bowl, whisk the large pkg. Jello into the boiling water until well mixed, about 2 minutes. Then stir in the cold water.
6. 6. Pour the jello evenly all over the cake. Refrigerate the cake at least 4 hours, preferably overnite.
7. 7. After it sets up, then make the frosting for the cake.
8. 8. In a bowl, whisk together the dry pudding and jello mixes.
9. 9. Pour in the milk and vanilla and whisk about 2 minutes or until it thickens.
10. 10. Fold in the Cool Whip. - Frost the cake.
11. Note: Most any other flavor of Jello could be used, lemon, lime, strawberry, raspberry, etc.
