Notes

  • Orange Juice: You can use any kind you have on hand, either with or without pulp. (We are very partial to Trader Joe’s OJ these days!)
  • Butter: Either salted or unsalted is fine.
  • Baking Powder: Make sure your baking powder is up to date (you can find the expiration date on the box)…it is the ingredients that gives this cake its fluffiness!
