1 cup water
3/4 cup cold orange soda
3.5 ounces orange gelatin mix
3/4 cup boiling water

Instructions
1. Bake the Cake:
– Preheat the oven to 350°F.

– In a large bowl, beat the cake mix, water, oil, and egg whites with an electric mixer on low speed until combined.
– Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake as directed on the package (about 25-30 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
– Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the baking dish.
2. Make the Filling:

– Poke holes in the top of the cake, about every ½ inch, using tongs, a meat fork, or a wooden skewer.
– Pour the dissolved orange gelatin over the top of the cake. Let it cool completely, about 1 hour.
3. Add the Topping and Chill:
– Spread the whipped topping over the top of the cake and chill in the fridge for a couple of hours.
– Sprinkle with orange jimmies before serving.
