A double orange cake with creamy layers of orange infused pudding and an orange buttercream frosting on top.

1 package (18.25 ounce size) orange cake mix
1 package (3 ounce size) orange gelatin
1/3 cup oil

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Didnt find the cake to be difficult to make, while the cake baked I made the filling and frosting, and putting it together was a breeze. Found I needed more oj for the frosting than the recipe called for but on the whole one of the best cakes I've ever tasted! Also made a strawberry one by subbing strawberry jello, strawberry cake, strawberry extract, and strawberry coolwhip. Used strawberry milk syrup for the oj and we loved that one too!
