My dad is turning 60 on Friday. I asked him what flavor cake he would like and he said "orange." I was so sure that I'd seen an orange cake mix out there, that I didn't worry about it until today when checking the grocery store shelves, saw there was no orange cake mix out there (lemon, yes, strawberry, yes, pineapple, yes, but NO ORANGE) 
Anyway, does anyone have a good orange cake recipe that can with stand being baked in the sports ball pan? Or, do you know if I can add orange extract to vanilla cake mix or something like that? Any help would be appreciated!!!
I make orange cake all the time. I start with a basic yellow cake mix. I use fresh-squeezed orange juice instead of the water. Then, I grate the rind from the oranges that I squeezed the juice from and put that in the batter. I add a llittle orange extract. The SECRET ingredient is orange Koolaid powder. About a teaspoon. Gives it just a little bit more of a kick. Makes a nice orange cake. I frost it with buttercream flavored with a big glug of Lorann Champagne flavor oil.

Ditto! 
FYI...There is an Orange Dreamsicle cake mix by Duncan Hines (I believe). This week I made cupcakes for some children and they were a big hit!!
But adding OJ is probably MUCH better!!
