Zesty Fanta Cake
Prep: 15 Minutes - Cook: 45 Minutes - Easy - Serves 8
Proudly supported by

TIP! Cake, without the meringues, can be made up to two days ahead. Store in an airtight container, at room temperature. Decorate just before serving.

Ingredients

440g box Green’s Golden Butter Cake mix

1 teaspoon finely grated orange rind

250ml can Fanta Orange Flavour soft drink

1 egg

Broken mini meringues, to decorate

ORANGE ICING

¾ cup icing sugar mixture

1 - 2 tablespoons orange juice

Orange food colouring, to tint

Method

  1. Grease a 20cm round cake pan. Line base and side with baking paper.

  2. Place cake mix in a large bowl, reserving icing mix. Add rind, soft drink and egg. Using a wire whisk, whisk until smooth. Pour into prepared pan.

  3. Cook in a moderately slow oven (160C) for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until cooked when a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean. Remove from oven. Stand in pan for 15 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

  4. To make icing, place icing sugar and reserved icing mix in a medium bowl. Stir in enough juice to form a smooth, thick and spreadable consistency. Tint orange with colouring. Reserve 2 tablespoons of icing in a small bowl.

  5. Spread remaining icing over top of cake. Decorate with meringues. Stir a little water into reserved icing, then drizzle over meringues. Stand at room temperature until set before serving.
