Fanta Pound Cake has a fabulous texture as every good pound cake should, a slight orange flavor, and a thick cream cheese icing.

It’s basically a pound cake with a little orange flavoring from Fanta soda and some orange zest. But we know a plain pound cake can be one of the most awesome desserts right"

And this one is totally decked out for summer a bright orange color.

There are certain sodas I only drink during the summer. There’s something about an ice-cold Cheerwine or Fanta Orange on a hot summer day. Your energy starts to wane due to the oppressive heat and then a couple of gulps of Fanta Orange, laden with sugar, can give you enough of a boost to refrain from taking a nap.

Rich, Buttery Texture

A combination of butter and shortening plus a packet of whipped topping mix gives this cake an incredible texture. So rich and buttery and dense, but tender. It’s almost velvety.
Gotta love the orange color! It’s almost Clemson Orange.

Note: You’ll have to add orange food coloring to get it this color.

How To Get The Perfect Texture

To get the best texture, beat the butter and shortening a long time, very slowly beat in the sugar, and beat in each egg before adding the next one. But then, you want to mix as little as possible. Just enough to get an even consistency.

Storage

Since this cake has a cream cheese frosting, it should be stored in the refrigerator. Can be frozen for up to 2 months.
