Ingredients

1 — 16 oz. package angel food cake mix
1 — .3 oz. package sugar-free orange gelatin
3/4 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
1-1/2 cups cold fat-free milk
1 — 1 oz. package sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
1 teaspoon orange extract
1 — 8 oz. carton frozen reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted (optional)

Directions

~Prepare and bake cake according to package directions, using an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Immediately invert tube pan; cool completely.
