FAQS
Can I use a different type of flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour, but the texture and flavor may vary slightly.
How can I ensure my cake rises properly?
Make sure to use fresh baking powder and baking soda, and avoid overmixing the batter, as this can lead to a dense cake.
What can I use instead of curd?
You can substitute curd with plain yogurt or buttermilk for a similar texture and flavor.
How do I know when the cake is done baking?
The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Additionally, the edges should start to pull away from the sides of the pan.
Can I add other flavors or ingredients to this cake?
Yes, you can add nuts, dried fruits, or spices like nutmeg for additional flavor, but be mindful of the balance with the orange flavor.
