Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the sunflower oil with another type of oil?
Yes, you can substitute sunflower oil with other neutral oils such as canola oil, vegetable oil, or even grapeseed oil for a similar result. If you want a slightly different flavor, consider using coconut oil, but keep in mind it may impart a coconut flavor to the cake.
How should I store leftover orange cake, and how long will it last?
Store any leftover orange cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it for up to a week or freeze it for up to 3 months. Ensure it's wrapped well to prevent freezer burn.
What should I do if my orange cake sinks in the middle after baking?
A sinking cake can be caused by underbaking or overmixing the batter. Ensure that you bake it long enough and perform the toothpick test to check for doneness. Also, avoid overmixing once you add the flour, as this can develop the gluten too much and cause the cake to collapse.
