Gingerbread Deluxe

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch square baking pan with shortening.

Combine the gingerbread mix, flour, coffee, and orange peel in a large mixing bowl and stir until evenly blended.

Whisk together the orange juice and cola in a separate bowl until combined.

Pour the orange juice and cola mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula.

Bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Remove the gingerbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving or turning out onto a wire rack.
