Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix
- 1 cup (8 oz) orange soda (not diet)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 drop red food coloring (optional)
- 2 drops yellow food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine cake mix, orange soda, oil, eggs, vanilla, and orange zest. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
- For the frosting: In a large bowl, beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with orange juice, beating on low speed until combined. Add vanilla and food colorings if desired; beat on high until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Frost the cooled cake evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to set the frosting.
Tips
- Use a clear orange soda for best flavor; avoid diet or flavored sodas.
- Store leftover cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For a more intense orange flavor, add 1 teaspoon orange extract to the frosting.
