Orange Creamsicle Cake

My niece Josslyn eating the cake.

Oh my goodness gracious this is one of the best cakes ever! Want to hear how good? I didn't even have time to take a picture it was devoured in a matter of minutes. I found that my 22 month old niece and my dad were the biggest fans of the cake! The only thing was it wasn't as pretty as I was hoping for so I will have to work on that next time.

~ 1 3 oz. pkg. orange flavored Jello.
~ 4 eggs

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line bottoms of four 8-inch cake pans with wax paper. Spray pan sides with cooking oil. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Add food coloring to mix. Pour into cake pans. Bake for 16-18minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Ingredients for frosting:
