For an extra burst of orange flavor, add a tablespoon of orange zest to the cake batter or pudding mixture. If you prefer a less intense orange flavor, you can substitute half of the orange gelatin with unflavored gelatin. Feel free to experiment with different flavors of gelatin and pudding to create your own unique poke cake variations. Garnish with orange slices or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving for a beautiful presentation. To ensure the cake doesn't stick, grease and flour the 9x13-inch pan before baking.
