Tips:
- Ensure that the butter is at room temperature before you begin; this helps in creaming it with the sugar more effectively.
- Gradually incorporate the eggs one at a time to ensure a smooth batter.
- Freshly squeezed orange juice can provide a more vibrant citrus flavor compared to store-bought juice.
- Toasting the almonds slightly before adding them to the batter can enhance their flavor.
- Gently fold in the sour cream to maintain the cake's light and airy texture.
- Using self-raising flour gives the cakes a better rise, but if you don't have any, you can make your own by adding 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and 0.5 teaspoons of salt to half a cup of all-purpose flour.
- Always preheat your oven to the required temperature before baking to ensure even cooking.
- Use a toothpick or cake tester to check if the cakes are done; it should come out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
- Let the cakes cool slightly in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely; this prevents them from breaking apart.
