-
Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
-
Mix the cake ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, orange soda, vegetable oil, eggs, and orange Jello powder. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until the batter is smooth.
-
Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool the cake: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Frosting (optional): Once cooled, frost the cake with your choice of frosting. For a creamsicle flavor, use whipped cream or cream cheese frosting with a hint of orange zest.
-
Serve and enjoy: Slice the cake into squares and enjoy the delightful burst of orange flavor!
Notes
For a richer orange flavor, consider adding 1-2 teaspoons of fresh orange zest to the batter or frosting.
You can swap the white cake mix with a lemon cake mix for a citrusy twist.
If you prefer a diet version, substitute with diet orange soda.
