Where to find ingredients
All-purpose flour, granulated sugar, large eggs, and baking powder can be found in the baking aisle of any supermarket. Orange juice is readily available in the beverage or juice section. If using orange soda, it will also be in the beverage aisle. For a more intense orange flavor, fresh oranges can be zested and juiced at home.
