Orange Soda Cake Cones Recipes

ORANGE CRUSH CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease and flour 2 cake pans.
• In a big bowl, Combine cake mix and 1 can (or measure out 12 oz.) orange soda. DO NOT ADD ANYTHING ELSE TO THE CAKE MIX.
• Pour into greased and floured cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick tests clean.
• Cool 10 minutes in pan then turn out to wire rack to cool completely.
• Make frosting:
• In a mixer, combine butter, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla.
• Whip together for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
• Separate into thirds. In one bowl, add enough orange coloring for a deep orange. In the second bowl, make orange a few shades lighter. In the last bowl, even lighter.
• Place one cooled cake on platter.
• Top with a thin layer of the lightest color.
• Top with the second layer of cake and spread a very thin layer of frosting over the entire cake.
• Place each shade of orange-colored frosting in three separate pastry bags with a large star tip (Wilton 1M).
• With the darkest color, swirl rosettes on the bottom. Repeat with middle color.
• Finish with the lightest color.
• If you do not want to make cream cheese frosting, you can easily buy a tub of vanilla frosting and use that instead.
