This refreshing dessert will disappear in a hurry at your next get-together. "My mother used this recipe more than 60 years ago, but she called it 'Icebox Cake' because we didn't have a refrigerator," recalls Marietta Martin from Brazil, Indiana.

Orange Refrigerator Cake Recipe

Prep: 10 min. + chilling

Yield: 12 Servings

10 10

Ingredients

1 package (4.6 ounces) cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
2 loaf-shaped angel food cakes (10-1/2 ounces each)
2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped

Directions

Prepare pudding according to package directions; set aside. In a small sauce-pan, sprinkle gelatin over orange juice; let stand for 1 minute. Cook and stir over low heat until gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir into pudding. Add orange peel. Transfer to a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until cooled.
Cut one angel food cake in half width-wise. Save one half for another use. Cut remaining half into eight slices. Cut second loaf into 16 slices.
Arrange half of the cake slices in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. dish. Fold whipped cream into pudding; spread half over the cake slices. Repeat layers. Cover and refrigerate overnight or until set. Yield: 12 servings.
