Can I leave out the 7 Up?  We don'r drink soda and I hate to buy a bottle - the rest would be poured down the drain.

@RetRN, is the vanilla pudding instant or the kind that needs cooked? Thanks for sharing the recipe.

That sounds good, I love anything orange.  Wonder about putting mandarin orange slices in it, what do you think?

This sounds like a good summer dessert.  I don't drink soda either so I would take an orange, zest it to put some in the cake and some in the icing, then juice it into my cup measurement.  I'd add water to make the rest of the cup.  Think this should work okay and you could juice the orange without zesting it, of course.  I just love to add the zest of citrus fruits to things.

@Snicks1, it is the instant.
