This recipe is from my Grandmother in Tennessee.  She made it for my family every visit, for 25 years.  I make it for my family now, it lasts maybe two days.

Orange Party Cake I

(18.25 ounce) package white cake mix

orange

eggs

vegetable oil

water

vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan.


In a medium bowl, stir together the gelatin mix and cake mix. Add the eggs, oil, water and vanilla, mix on high speed of an electric mixer for 3 minutes.  Pour the batter into the prepared pan.


Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until cake springs back when lightly touched. Be careful not to overbake.


I use a recipe similar to this, except I use Yellow cake mix w/ pudding in the mix. And I use 1 C Tropicana Orange Juice with lotsa pulp. Everyone loves it! You can't go wrong with this recipe.

I didn't follow the recipe exactly because I thought 4 teaspoons of vanilla sounded like too much so I used one teaspoon of vanilla and one teaspoon of lemon extract. I thought the cake was delicious but I am the only one who ate it. Maybe there were too many other goodies around during Christmas but it simply did not appeal to the rest of my family. I would make it again and just bring it to my office to share.

I'm a pretty good cook but my baking skills are remedial at best. I was looking for an easy good cake and this delivered! This is a lightweigt fluffy yet very moist cake that was very easy to make. I used chocolate cake mix with the orange gelatin simply becuase I like the taste of chocolate and orange together. Next time I might use orange extract in place of the vanilla to intensify the orange flavor but that's just personal preference. Great recipe... Thanks!

I've made this several times. Used an oblong pan and iced it with orange cheese cheese frosting because of everyone's sweet tooth. It did great. Will make it again and again.

I'm not any sort of baker. Once every few years or so I try to make a great cake for my wife's birthday. This year I made this recipe because I wanted to try something we've never had. The recipe was super easy and very delicious. As someone else suggested I only used half of the vanilla and replaced it with orange extract. Also I didn't want to use a bundt pan for a birthday cake so I used two 9" round pans. Baked perfectly at 375 for 30 minutes. For the icing I used 1 tub (16 oz) of whipped topping mixed with 8 oz of sour cream 3/4 tsp of orange extract and 2 cups of confectioners sugar. Then topped with some candied orange slices. Turned out really well although if I ever make it again I might try a chocolate based frosting for contrasting flavors. Either way you can't go wrong.

I have now made this recipe several different times with several different flavor combinations. White/orange chocolate/orange chocolate/raspberry white/lemon. They are all delicious. The chocolate/raspberry turns out looking like a red velvet cake. The combination of the jello and extra liquids makes it very moist and flavorful. I have started using 2 tsp. vanilla and 2 tsp. extract the same flavor as the jello. That intensifies the fruit flavor a little. Delicious!

What a wonderful cake! I changed a few things...1c. oil 1c. orange juice and orange extract. Super moist wonderful texture and oh so good!

Made this for my church youth group. It was a hit! I didn't have a large box of jello so I used the small box and used 3 tsp orange flavoring and 1 tsp vanilla. Moist cake with great orange flavor!

This cake was moist and a big hit for my Mother's birthday! I tweaked it a little bit by substituting orange juice with lots of pulp for the water. Will definitely be a recipe that I keep.
