Recipe 2:

Orange dreamsicle cake

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, in 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. Try  this cake in lemon and strawberry...all equally good.
