One responder says they did not. However, a recipe in a cookbook published shortly after the Civil War contains 2 recipes for orange cake. (The Successful Housekeeper, by Ellsworth, 1882). Recipes from the south date to well before the Civil War (Directions for Cookery, Eliza Leslie, 1844). Thus it seems likely that soldiers might have eaten this as a treat. It is not listed among the provisions of the army in any materials I have seen.
