Frequently Asked Questions
What can I use as a substitute for cornstarch in this recipe?
You can substitute cornstarch with an equal amount of all-purpose flour or potato starch. Keep in mind that potato starch may give a slightly different texture.
How should I store leftover Orange Roll (Torta de Laranja)?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it, wrapped in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil, for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
What should I do if my Orange Roll cracks while rolling it?
If your Orange Roll cracks, don't worry! You can patch it up by gently pressing the edges together. Next time, make sure to bake it just until set, as over-baking can make it dry and more prone to cracking.
