Ingredients

Directions

  1. Make the cake according to the directions on the back for two 8 inch round cakes. You only need one box to make both the cakes. Just mix the cake batter, but instead of using the water called for in the instructions, use the one cup of Fanta Orange soda, instead. This is also where you will use the eggs and the vegetable oil as per the directions on the back of the cake mix box. Just divide the batter evenly between two round cake pans and bake as instructed.
  2. Make sure you grease both cake pans generously so that the cake comes out of the pan cleanly. Once the cakes have cooled, place one of them on a cake dish and cut the top off evenly. Add some orange icing to the top, then place the second cake on top of that one. You can also cut the top off of the second cake or leave it as is. Then ice the entire cake in orange icing. Then, if you would like, pipe some black icing around the bottom of the cake.
  3. Take a couple of OREO cookies and gently cut them into the shapes you would like for your Jack-O-Lantern’s eyes, nose and mouth and place them on the cake. And that is it! You are done! And you have a yummy, and fun Jack-O-Lantern cake!
