Easiest Orange Crush Poke Cake
This is a perfect summer cake. It’s easy, super moist yet light, and just looks cheerful. Who can resist a tie-dyed looking cake? It’s refreshing on a warm day because it’s stored in the fridge and served chilled. You’ll want to take a fork directly into the cake pan and keep straightening the rows. I have fond childhood memories of going to the local swimming pool in the summer and during the break when they kicked everyone out of the pool, I would go to the vending machine, buy a can of ice cold Orange Crush, and down it in about 3 seconds. There’s a double dose of orange in the cake. Orange Jell-O and actual Orange Crush used to dissolve the Jell-O. Yes, please! You can really taste it, too. It’s definitely pronounced. I couldn’t resist adding orange nonpareils (sprinkles) that I’ve had forever courtesy of an impulse Target dollar bin buy and finally I’m used them. They gave a tiny bit of texture to the otherwise silky smooth whipped topping and the light cake. Orange candy slices complete the cake. It’s sugar overload and we loved it.
Orange Crush Cake Ingredients
This orange soda cake requires just 4 ingredients plus water, although I don’t count water as an ingredient! Here’s what you’ll need to make the poke cake:
Boxed white cake mix Orange Crush Jell-O (or regular orange Jell-O) Orange Crush Whipped topping (like Cool Whip) Boiling water Orange sprinkles and orange candy slices (optional, for garnishing)
How to Make Cake with Orange Crush
Since this Orange Crush cake is made with boxed cake mix, the batter comes together in about 5 minutes and then you just let the cake chill after adding the Orange Crush mixture and whipped topping!
