Notes

Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. Don't overmix the batter to avoid tough cakes. Test doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean. Consider variations with different citrus fruits or spices for unique flavors. Store cakes in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or refrigerate for a week. To refresh texture, microwave briefly if needed.
