Creamy Orange Cake Recipe

Cool and refreshing like the orange cream frozen treat. Great for picnics, travels well. Very easy to make.. I have made this for several social functions, and it always disappears very quickly.  I brought it to a club function & had many people asking me for the recipe (even men). I have since found the Orange Cake Mix & made it both ways but prefer the white cake mix the best.
