Be careful not to overmix the batter to maintain the cake's moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh orange juice instead of store-bought?
Absolutely! Fresh orange juice can enhance the flavor of the cake. Just ensure it is well-strained to avoid pulp. The natural sweetness and acidity of fresh juice will work beautifully in this recipe.
What can I use instead of eggs for a vegan version?
For a vegan alternative, substitute each egg with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water. This will help maintain moisture and bind the ingredients together.
How can I tell if the cake is done baking?
To check if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs attached, but no wet batter. If it comes out sticky, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes and check again.
