Steps:
- Mix all of the filling ingredients together in a medium bowl. Reserve 1/2 to 3/4 cup for frosting.
- In either a stand mixer or using an electric hand mixer combine all of the ingredients together and beat for 3 minutes. Scrape the bottom and the sides of the bowl occasionally.
- Grease and flour two 8 or 9-inch round cake pans. Shake out any excess flour. Set aside.
- Pour the cake batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 30 minutes. Or until a toothpick when inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the cake pans and let cool completely on a baking rack.
- Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the filling to the frosting. Use about 2 containers of store bought frosting, or homemade cream cheese frosting. Mix together well with a rubber spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until you are ready to frost the cake.
- To make homemade cream cheese frosting:Using a beater attachment, add all of the ingredients and beat until smooth and fluffy. Add a little milk at a time until you get the consistency you want. You'll want this frosting to be a little thicker than normal.
- Place one cake on a plate or serving platter. Place filling on top of the cake. Keep the filling about 1-inch away from the edges of the cake. Place the second cake on top of the filling.
- Gently spread the frosting on the top and around the sides of the cake. Top with a few thin slices of oranges for garnish.
- Refrigerate this cake until ready to serve.

AUNT SUSIE'S DREAMSICLE CAKE
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.

Steps:
- Cut angel food cake into bite-sized cubes and place in an even layer in a 9 x 13 GLASS pan.
- Drain the mandarin oranges, reserving liquid.
- Add enough water to the liquid to equal 1 cup.
- Layer the mandarin oranges over the cake.
- Pour the 1 cup of juice and water into a saucepan and add the jello.
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Pour into a large bowl and let cool for 1/2 hour.
- Add the sherbet, Cool Whip, sugar and vanilla.
- Mix well and pour over the cake and oranges.
- Run a knife through the cake to make sure it is distributed evenly throughout.
- Refrigerate until set (best over-night).
- NOTE: It is very important to use a glass pan as a metal pan will rust easily.
Tips:
- Use fresh oranges and lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh citrus, you can use frozen or bottled juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Make sure the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to cream together smoothly.
- Don't over-mix the batter. Over-mixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter on it, the cake needs to bake longer.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner cut off to frost the cake.

Aunt Susie's Dreamsicle Cake is a delicious and refreshing cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you are looking for a fun and festive cake to make for your next party, this is the recipe for you.
