Where to find ingredients
All-purpose flour, granulated sugar, large eggs, and baking powder are commonly found in the baking aisle of most supermarkets. Orange juice is available in the juice aisle. If using orange soda, check the soda aisle. For a more intense orange flavor, consider using freshly squeezed orange juice from the produce section.
