I came up with this dessert just in time for Easter. Everyone agreed the flavor reminded them of orange creamsicles. It was a definite hit! —Michelle Tokarz, Newport, Michigan

I made this just as written for Easter and it was a hit with everyone. We decided that it would be delicious in about any flavor... including chocolate. I want to try it with lemon curd since I love lemon. To the gal that had it overflow all over her oven... mine raised up and out but didn't go over. Maybe it was the cake mix you used?

Good suggestion to not use so much of the batter. I just cut mine off around the edges, which also made it easier to roll. In my opinion. I will definitely make this again...in other flavors.

This was a refreshing dessert and easy to put together. Made it for our Easter get together and it was a huge hit. Orange flavor and angel food, it doesn't get any better then this.

This was my first attempt at a jelly-roll cake and I was a bit nervous. I had always thought they would be difficult but this one was very easy and it came out beautifully. It was also delicious. Would definiately make it again and would recommend it...

This made a very pretty cake roll, but we just didn't like how it tasted.

OMG!!! This cake is soooo good! I can't wait for my raspberries to ripen to make a raspberry version of this. Strawberry would be equally wonderful. I plan on making this cake numerous more times.

I used light cream cheese and sugar free marmalade to lighten it up. Very tasty!

For the strawberry, why not make your own juice from real strawberries. For the color and flavor why not use sugar free koolaid. Sounds like fun no matter what the flavor. Good luck.

This looks great. Wondering what you would substitute when you make a strawberry version, i.e. orange juice, orange extract & orange peel? Any suggestions?

This was so delicious. It was light, sweet and a bit of tang with the marmalade!!

This recipe is very similar to one I grew up loving as a child. My version has slightly-thickened orange jello and whipped topping as the "frosting" part, and also combines mandarin oranges for an extra fruity flare. You can also make an equally good strawberry version. No one DOESN'T like this!

In response to la210 - my suggestion is to use a larger pan or don't use all the cake batter. moonbeam@polarcomm.com

OMG!! When you bake the cake mix in the 15x10x1 in. pan, it over flows like crazy. I had a horrible mess in the oven. Does anyone know how to keep this from happening. I will not make this again until I can figure this problem out.

tasty and delicious. I took it to a potluck, and was the favorite dessert. People really appreciate a dessert that is not store-bought or brownies.
