- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- Pinch salt
- 1 cup neutral oil

- Stir together flour, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together oil, orange juice, sugar and vanilla.
- Mix wet ingredients into the dry ones, then add eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.

Yes you can
Yes for sure
Do you think I can make this cake ahead of time and freeze it?
Will I get the same results if I use scale measurements rather than cups
Will I get the same results if I use some ale measurements for the flour and sugar not cups

Can I use scale measurements for this recipe . Sugar 200g a cup and flour 120 g a cup which is different if u use a measuring cup
It should work that way
Sure, that should work well
Can I substitute Apple cider for the Orange juice?
I found same lack of measurement of salt and we winged it at a scant 1/2 teaspoon. Baking now. looks fabulous.
How much salt?
This cake is awesome!!! My step father wanted me to make this for him. He is Jewish but I am not. I made a test cake before I made his and it is really good! I’m a lazy cook, but this is worth the trouble! Thanks for sharing with a nice Gentile girl!
Looks like maybe they are optional. I think you can add them with the apples
How do you incorporate the 1/2 cup walnuts in this recipe? Am I missing anything?
I AM GOING TO TRY THIS SHOSHANA,
TODA! 🙂
