Orange Angel Cake is a very lite and very pretty dessert. If using sugar-free Jell-O and lite whipped topping, it comes in at just 140 calories per serving. That’s sweet! This easy recipe begins with a box mix. Poke holes throughout the baked cake and pour gelatin mixture over; cool and spread with whipped topping. Delicious!
Orange Angel Cake
PRINT RECIPE
Servings 15
INGREDIENTS:
1 package angel food cake mix
1 package (0.3-oz) sugar free orange jello (or flavor of choice)
3/4 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
2 cups Cool whip Lite, thawed
1 orange( optional)
1/2 pint raspberries or strawberries as garnish (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350. Prepare cake mix according to directions. Pour batter into ungreased 9 x 13-inch pan, spreading evenly.
Bake on center rack in oven 35 to 40 mins or until top is golden brown and cracks feel dry and not sticky. Carefully turn pan upside down onto cooling rack, cool 45 mins. Do not remove cake from pan.
Once the cake is completely cooled, slide a knife or spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen; remove cake from pan onto a serving platter.
Using fork or metal skewer, poke holes in cake about 1 1/2″ deep and 1/2″ apart.
Place gelatin in small bowl. Pour boiling water into gelatin, stir about 2 mins or until completely dissolved. Stir in cold water. Slowly pour gelatin evenly over cake. Refrigerate 3 hours.
Frost cake with cool whip using a large spreader. Cut into squares. Garnish with orange slice, zest, raspberries and mint, if desired.

oh MY I wish I was having this right now!!!!
I should NEVER go to these sort of posts before dinner as I immediately crave what I see and don't have 🙂
oh does this look wonderful! Next family dinner I think this will be the dessert I make!
I love the look of this cake and it's low-cal, too. I've never made this type with the angel food, but that would keep the fat and calories down. Hooray!!
Looks so light and wonderful.
Lorraine I have already commented here but wanted to thankyou for your comment on my Party Potato chips. You asked about the caramel. I've never tried it with just the caramel sauce. I would wonder if it wouldn't stay kinda sticky. Thats the only problem I can see. These are REALLY good though. You, your husband and your whole family I know would aboslutely love 'em.
