For awhile now, I have been meaning to make this cake for you all!

Mainly because for one, its completely delicious and secondly because you loved my Lemon cake SO much, that I felt I needed to bring this one to you as well!

If you want to see the Lemon Version Click here–> Lemon 7-Up Cake!

This has got to be one of my all time favorite cakes

It tastes pretty similar to my Lemon 7-up cake, since we will be using soda for this cake like we did with that recipe as well, but this time, Orange soda!

The soda really brings out the moistness in to the cake!

I explain in the instructions below how to get the deep colored orange center.

I added in orange zest to this recipe to give it MORE of an orange flavor.

Ingredients
  

For the Cake

  • 5 eggs
  • 3 cups self rising flour
  • 3/4 lb butter softened (3/4 LB of butter equals 3 sticks)
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup carbonated orange soda beverage any brand
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 drops Orange Food Coloring optional
  • 1 Tablespoon Orange Zest

For the Glaze

  • 2- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon of milk

NOTE; you need to use a LARGE bundt pan or a tube pan for this recipe. Do NOT fill more than more than two-thirds full because it does rise more than a regular cake due to the soda added. You will have extra batter, so I usually use it to bake cupcakes.

Ingredients using Box Cake Mix

  • one box of orange cake mix
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup of vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1- 4 ounce box of instant vanilla pudding
  • 3/4 cup of carbonated orange soda of your choice/any brand

Instructions

From scratch

  • Mix butter and sugar together for about 10 minutes.
  • Add in your eggs-1 at a time, beating after each is added in.
  • Add in flour, salt, zest & food coloring.
  • Fold in your orange soda of choice.
  • Pour into well-greased 12-cup Bundt pan or large 12 cup or more tube pan
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 1 to 1 hour & 15 min or until fully set
  • Remove from oven and transfer to wire rack to cool, then drizzle your glaze on top

To get the DEEP orange color that dips into the center, you see on my cake, I used a separate bowl (once all batter was ready to be poured into the pan) removed about one cup of the batter, placed it in the bowl and added an extra drop of orange food coloring and a little pinch more orange zest, I then poured this FIRST, into my pan, before added the rest of the batter. (this is optional)

    Box Mix

    • Preheat your oven to 325F
    • Grease your bundt pan
    • In a separate large bowl combine all the cake ingredients, plus pudding and the soda - mix well
    • pour the mixed batter into the greased bundt pan
    • Bake for about 45 to 55 minutes or until set
    • allow to cool completely before removing from the pan
    • top with Glaze

    Glaze Instructions

    • Combine all the glaze ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until the glaze is pretty thick
    • thick, adding more or less liquid/powdered sugar so you can get the correct consistency
    • Drizzle glaze all over the cake
    • ENJOY!

        The sticks of butter where I live are usually 1/2 cup but she says use 3/4 cup in recipe or 3 sticks. Wouldn’t that be a cup and one half of butter?

          March 2, 2018

          Sorry, I read the recipe wrong. It does take 1 and 1/2 cups because that would be 12 ounces and she said 3/4 pound not 3/4 cup.

      You do not state what size bundt pan you used. I am from the UK and these pans are relatively new to me. The cake looks fabulously delicious and very moist. When you reply to my question, I will buy the pan and give the recipe a try and the lemon one sounds delicious too. Thanks in advance for your answer.

      Can this be made into cupcakes? We’re having bake sales to fund a community project, and they’re easier to handle.

      How can you adjust the recipe to make two cupcakes. I don’t want to bake a entire cake until I know my dad the taste of the cake.

      This is a flop!! I made this exactly by recipe it ran over in oven, I had a large pan and did not over fill, the batter looked like it was boiling in the pan. Oven temp was correct. I am an excellent baker and would like to know if anyone else has had this problem.

      I was so excited but must have messed something up :’( the middle fell and I was having trouble finding the orange flavour in it all. I also found the glaze to not have enougg orange flavour for my tastes 🙁 might try again someday and see if I can’t get it right though

      I omitted the orange zest and opted for orange extract the second time I made this cake. I barely tasted any orange at all the first time I made it. I used 2 teaspoons of orange extract and no orange zest. I also used orange extract in the glaze as well. Much more orange tasting!!!
