Prepare cake mix according to directions.

Remove 1 1/2 cups of the batter and set aside.
4
Pour remaining batter into the pan.
5
Stir dry orange jello into the 1 1/2 cups batter.
6
Drop this onto the batter in the pan, and cut through batter with a knife, with S-shaped curves, in one continuous motion, for a swirled effect.

Bake according to cake mix directions.
8
Cool and crumble.
9
Make the vanilla pudding, according to the box, with the 2 cups of milk.

In a trifle bowl, layer 1/3 of the cake, 1/2 of the pudding, and 1/3 of the clementines.

Continue for another layer.

For the top layer, you'll only have cake and oranges -- you'll then top that layer with the Cool Whip, and garnish (if desired) with a few clementine secions.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.
