I will be back later today. I have it in my head that I want to bake an orange cake. Is there such a thing? I guess I'll find out...
Update: here's the recipe I found, I'm just not sure I'll have the time to get to it today, and I can't say I've ever seen orange cake mix either. Stay tuned.

mmmm....i've had orange bundt cake. does that count? it's sooo yummy with orange icing!! =)
paula deen has a recipe. There is also an excellent duncan hines cake mix! It tasted like those orange mini-muffins you can find at the grocery store.
Erica, in case you're still looking for recipes, my favorite orange cake to make is Portuguese orange cake. This one is very similar to the recipe I use (which I can't find at the moment): http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,186,147161-233198,00.html
It also halves easily if you want to make it in an 8" square pan.
I also like to make a little syrup with orange juice and sugar to drizzle over the hot cake - sooo good!
OOh thanks April. I think I'm going to have to have an orange cake-off at some point. I just have it in my mind that an orange cake would be the perfect way to eat cake- light and bright and not cloying or rich like chocolate tends to get.
kelly- I saw that mix, and did think about it. Maybe I'll pick it up and use it for comparison purposes. And I'm definitely looking for that Paula recipe. She has yet to steer me wrong.
