Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the butter with a different ingredient?
Yes, you can substitute butter with vegetable oil or coconut oil for a dairy-free version. However, this may slightly alter the texture and flavor of the cake.
How should I store the leftovers of the orange cake?
Store the 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.
What can I do if my cake is too dense or dry after baking?
If your cake turns out too dense or dry, check that you measured your ingredients accurately, especially the flour. You can also ensure not to overbeat the batter and avoid opening the oven door too early during baking. Adding a bit of additional juice or a simple syrup soaking can help moisten it.
