Orange Dreamsicle Cake

1 box Duncan Hines orange supreme cake mix, plus ingredients to prepare as directed on box

1 small box orange jello
1 cup hot water
1 cup cold water

Frosting:
1 pkg. cream cheese -- (8 oz.) softened
1 small box instant vanilla or cheesecake flavored pudding mix
1 small box orange jello (dry)
1 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cool whip -- (8 oz.) thawed

Bake cake as directed on box, in a 9x13" pan. When done, poke holes all over cake with meat fork. Let cool on wire rack. Next, dissolve jello in hot water for 2 minutes. Then add cold water and pour slowly over cake to allow it to run into holes. Refrigerate cake 2-3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. In large bowl, beat cream cheese until creamy. Add dry jello, pudding mix, milk and vanilla. Beat well. Fold in Cool Whip. Spread on cake and refrigerate. In the event you can't get the orange cake mix, you can use a white, yellow, or lemon and add a package of orange kool aid. I have made this cake in lemon and strawberry...all equally good. In the orange, I can get the mix, but I use oj instead of water, mostly because we like more "orangy" flavor. Then, there is also orange extract I suppose.
