Notes
First of all, you can sprinkle additional orange zest on top of your orange glaze for garnish. Besides that, you can use orange extract on a minimal amount instead of orange zest. Furthermore, keep your ingredients at room temperature. Bear in mind that room-temped ingredients will help to achieve an even baking. So with that, when baking, put your eggs at room temperature before using them.
Moreover, scraping the bowl when beating ensures a well-combined batter. Additionally, adding the orange zest to this recipe will enhance the orange flavor of the cake. Besides, this cake recipe is best with coffee or milk. Also, remember that it is okay that the cake sinks a little. For the most part, it happens during the cooling process. Because of that, it is entirely normal.
In addition to that, you mustn't let the cake sit for more than ten minutes. With that, make sure to let the cake sit before putting it in the oven. Bear in mind to do this once the cake mixes. Besides, it tends to lose its fluffiness the longer you let it sit out. Moreover, this cake is a bit dense rather than being light and fluffy. Similarly, it has a creamy texture.
Furthermore, it would help if you always used a freshly opened carbonated soda drink in the recipe. A soda that has gone flat will not give the bubbles needed to provide the cake a good rise. In addition to that, remember that the orange soda does not provide much in terms of orange taste. However, it gives the lift required to create this type of cake work. Likewise, it provides the cake its color.
