   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and dust it lightly with flour.

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder and set aside.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

   Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. 5

   Add half of the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.

6. 6

   Pour in the Fanta and mix until smooth. Then, add the remaining dry ingredients and fold until you have a smooth batter.

7. 7

   Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

8. 8

   Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

   Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

    For the icing, whisk together powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of Fanta until smooth.

    Once the cake is fully cooled, drizzle the Fanta icing over the top. Garnish with orange zest if desired.
