Tips & Substitutions
For a more elevated flavor, consider using fresh raspberries instead of raspberry jam. You can also substitute lemon or lime juice for a tangy twist. If you want a lighter texture, try folding in some whipped cream into the orange juice before pouring it over the cake. This Care A Lot Cloud Cake can also be made with a sponge cake for a fluffier result.
