Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hi, I’m making Paul’s much loved chocolate cake but need to flavour it with orange extract to make it choc orange flavour – how much would you advise to use for an 8″ x 3″ deep cake?

Hi Leapyleo

It depends which orange extract you are using, some are stronger than others. Try one teaspoon and taste a tiny bit of the batter. If you think it needs more, add another half a teaspoon. I’ve made it lots of times adding a little orange liqueur as well as the extract. 🙂
