Ingredients
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- 1 cup of Orange Crush soda
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons of orange juice
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 orange (for extra zing!)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven: Preheat that oven to 350°F (that’s around 175°C for our friends across the pond). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Mix the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, Orange Crush soda, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until smooth, and resist the urge to drink it—save it for the cake!
- Pour and bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
- Make the frosting: While that cake is cooling, whip up the frosting. In a bowl, beat together powdered sugar, softened butter, orange juice, vanilla extract, and orange zest until creamy and well combined. Taste it and be prepared to swoon.
- Frost the cake: Once your cake is cool, slather on the frosting like you’re icing your masterpiece. Get creative and make it as thick or as thin as you like.
- Served chilled: For an extra touch of deliciousness, pop the cake in the fridge for a bit before serving. Cold cake, warm hearts!
And there you have it! A delightful Orange Crush Soda Pop Cake that’s sure to impress your friends and family. Or at least make them question your sanity for putting soda in a cake. Either way, enjoy every sugary bite!
