How can I enhance my orange flavor?

Add more of those intensely orange flavored ingredients like orange zest (try the freeze-dried variety for an even bolder flavor), pure orange extract or orange oil. You can also serve the cake with a refreshing salad made of fillets of orange and some fresh lemon balm.

How do you get rid of bitterness in orange cake?

The main issue is usually too much baking powder so make sure that you follow the recipe exactly. If you realise your mistake before baking, you have two options: increase the recipe to match the amount of baking powder or add a neutralising acid like cream of tartar or lemon juice.

Why is my orange cake dry?

Always follow the recipe: use the right ingredients and avoid substituting as far as possible, mix the ingredients exactly as instructed, don’t set your oven higher than the recommended temperature and stick to the baking time (unless, of course, your cake is underbaked and needs a few extra minutes).
