Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and orange soda. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
• Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
• While the cake is baking, prepare the poke filling. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange gelatin mix and boiling water until dissolved.
• Once the cake is out of the oven, immediately poke holes all over the top with a fork or the handle of a wooden spoon.
• Pour the gelatin mixture evenly over the hot cake, allowing it to soak in.
• Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
• While the cake cools, prepare the orange glaze. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth.
• Stir in the orange juice and orange zest until the glaze is smooth and pourable. Add more orange juice if needed to reach desired consistency.
• Spread the orange glaze evenly over the cooled cake.
• Chill the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the glaze to set.
