Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with baking spray with flour. In small bowl, mix boiling water and gelatin until gelatin is completely dissolved. Cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
2 In large bowl, beat cake mix, 1/4 cup of the gelatin mixture, 1/4 cup of the orange juice concentrate, the oil, water and egg whites with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan. Reserve remaining gelatin mixture and orange juice concentrate.
3 Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Poke warm cake every inch with fork. Place 1 tablespoon of the reserved gelatin mixture in small microwavable 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 tablespoon 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. Garnish each cake piece with orange peel strips. Store covered in refrigerator.

I made this cake for my husband and he loved it. The cake is very moist and I love the freshness of the orange. I added a little orange zest to the cake batter. I am going to try this with some different flavors like lemon and maybe a strawberry/daiquiri mix.

Well this cake was fabulous. My mom had made an odd request for her birthday, an orange cake. Something I had never made before and neither had she. So I did a Yahoo search for orange cake and the Betty Crocker site came up. I browsed several different choices and this one seemed to stand out to me. I looked over the ingredients and thought this would be interesting to make. So yesterday I bought the ingredients I needed and I came home and started making this cake. Because I made it a day early I was even worried how it would taste after being in the frig. But to my surprise it was awesome. Everyone that had a piece just loved it and even wanted seconds. My discription of the taste was like an Orange Creamsicle Popsicle, but in cake form LOL. Next time I make this one I hope to make it the same day as needed as to try it fresh.
