Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute ricotta cheese with another cheese?

Yes, you can substitute ricotta cheese with mascarpone cheese for a creamier texture. If you're looking for a lower-fat option, cottage cheese can also work, but make sure to blend it until smooth.

How should I store the leftover orange cake?

Store the leftover orange cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate it for up to a week or freeze it for up to 3 months. Make sure to wrap it well to prevent freezer burn.

What should I do if my cake doesn't rise properly?

If your cake doesn't rise as expected, check that your baking powder is fresh, as expired baking powder can lead to a flat cake. Also, ensure that you haven't overmixed the batter, which can develop too much gluten and prevent proper rising.
