- 1 cup orange sherbet
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven as per the instructions on your cake mix box. Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing it lightly.
- Mix the cake batter according to the package instructions, pour the batter into your prepared pan, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick.
- While your cake is baking, prepare the orange gelatin by dissolving the powder in 1 cup of boiling water and then adding 1 cup of cold water. Let it cool slightly.
- Once the cake is done, let it cool for about 10 minutes. Poke holes all over the top using a fork.
- Pour the cooled orange gelatin mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
- Let the cake cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

- Spread the whipped cream mixture generously over the chilled cake.
