6. Oil can be replaced with olive oil or softened butter. But ensure to use neutral/flavourless oil.

7. Extract fresh orange juice only, as readymade or aerated juices will change the taste of the cake.

Common Tips in Baking

1. Baking powder cannot be substituted with baking soda, both are different.
2. Ensure baking powder and baking soda is within the expiry date, else the cake won't raise and turns spongy.
3. Once you prepare the batter, bake it immediately, otherwise, the baking powder de-activate and the cake won't raise.
