I remember having this cake when I was just a little girl. My Aunt Susie would make this for all our family get-togethers. A few years ago I called and asked if she would share it with me. A very light and refreshing dessert for the spring and summer months. Ingredients:
1 angel food cake (purchased from bakery department or make your own) |
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges |
1 (3 ounce) box orange jell-o |
1 pint orange sherbet |
1 (8 ounce) container cool whip |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Cut angel food cake into bite-sized cubes and place in an even layer in a 9 x 13 GLASS pan.
2. Drain the mandarin oranges, reserving liquid.
3. Add enough water to the liquid to equal 1 cup.
4. Layer the mandarin oranges over the cake.
5. Pour the 1 cup of juice and water into a saucepan and add the jello.
6. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
7. Pour into a large bowl and let cool for 1/2 hour.
8. Add the sherbet, Cool Whip, sugar and vanilla.
9. Mix well and pour over the cake and oranges.
10. Run a knife through the cake to make sure it is distributed evenly throughout.
11. Refrigerate until set (best over-night).
12. NOTE: It is very important to use a glass pan as a metal pan will rust easily.
