Preheat the oven to 350°F. 

Place cupcake liners in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups in a cupcake pan.

In a large mixing bowl combine the cake mix and orange Crush soda until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl.

Pour batter into muffin cups about ¾ full. 

Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 

Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove cupcakes from the pan and let continue cooling on a cooling rack. 

For the Cupcakes:

In a medium bowl combine butter and confectioners sugar, one cup of sugar at a time. Add in orange jello, orange Crush soda, and vanilla and mix until smooth. 

Frost cupcakes and decorate as desired. 

For the frosting:

How do you put the icing inside the cupcake like a Twinkie?  I wanted to try this icing as a filling.

Orange pound cake made with orange Sunkist soda! Old fashioned recipes that makes a velvety soft pound cake.

Glazed Orange Dream Pound Cake

medium orange (plus more for garnish if desired)

all-purpose flour (sifted)

salt

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Grease and lightly flour a bundt pan. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together butter, shortening and sugar.

Beat in eggs one at a time.

Stir in orange extract and vanilla extract.

Stir in orange zest.

In a medium bowl, sift together flour and salt.

Combine dry ingredients into wet ingredients, mixing gently, alternating with the orange soda.

Stir in red and yellow food coloring to create a deeper orange color, if desired.

Pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs clinging. (Do not overbake as cake will continue to cook as it sits in the pan to cool.)

Remove from oven and leave in pan until pan is cool enough to touch.

Remove cake from pan and place on a cooling rack until completely cooled.

Mix glaze ingredients and pour over cooled cake.

Sprinkle with orange zest and let glaze harden.

Absolutely amazing recipe. The cake turned out light and fluffy  and had a great flavor. One of the best cake recipes I've ever made

This cake turned out delicious, just like the church ladies use to make! Thank you for sharing your recipes. 

This cake was so delicous. It has a velvety smooth texture and the icing comlplimented the overall orange taste. Will make it again!!!

Ronda, The soda compensates for the baking powder and baking soda. You'll find this in the Coca Cola Recipe Book. 

3 sticks of butter instead of the shortening will work fine.

Original pound cake doesn't use a leavening agent. This recipe relies on the air that's whipped into the cake while creaming the butter and sugar. I normally whip my butter for 7mins before I add the sugar, which is then whipped for 3mins. I've had great success with this cake (with no leavening agent). Hope this helps!
