Add nuts or dried fruits: You can enrich the Torta ACE by adding chopped walnuts, almonds, or dried raisins to the batter for added texture and flavor.
Spices: For a more aromatic twist, try adding a teaspoon of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients. These spices pair beautifully with the citrus flavors.
Glaze: For a tangy finish, drizzle a glaze made from powdered sugar and orange juice over the cooled cake. It will add a glossy, citrusy touch to each slice.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use a different oil instead of sunflower oil?
Yes, you can use other neutral oils like vegetable oil or canola oil. Avoid using strong-flavored oils, such as olive oil, as they may overpower the other flavors.
Can I make this cake gluten-free?
Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend, but make sure to use one that includes xanthan gum or another binding agent to help the texture.
Can I use bottled citrus juice instead of fresh?
While fresh citrus juice provides a more vibrant flavor, bottled juice can be used as a substitute in a pinch. Just ensure that it’s 100% pure juice with no added sugars or preservatives.
Can I freeze the Torta ACE?
Yes, you can freeze the Torta ACE for up to 3 months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing. Let it thaw at room temperature before serving.
