Key Ingredients and Substitutions
Oranges – You’ll need about 2 oranges for this recipe. I like to use Navel oranges, but any orange will work here. For smaller orange varieties, you may need 3 or 4.
Milk – I recommend either 2% or 3% milk, for best results. I haven’t tested this recipe with non-dairy milk.
Poppy Seeds – Check your poppy seeds before using, as they can easily go rancid and since there are plenty of poppy seeds in this cake, that is not a good thing.
Do you have to soak poppy seeds? No, you don’t, but many people do, as soaking allows for easier digestion of the poppy seeds and amplifies the poppy seed flavour. The easiest way to soak poppy seeds is to soak them in the liquid that will be used for the bake, whether water or milk.
