How to Substitute Orange Extract for Orange Peel
You can substitute orange extract for orange peel in equal parts by volume without changing the recipe. For example, if your cake calls for 1 teaspoon of orange zest, add 1 teaspoon of extract to the wet ingredients. If you're making frosting, add the extract after you whip the butter. You can also substitute 1 teaspoon of orange liqueur for 1 teaspoon of orange peel.
Making Your Own Extract
-
You can substitute orange zest for orange extract with the addition of a liquid, or make your own extract with alcohol. Mince enough orange zest to make at least 1/4 cup and place it in a glass jar. Add just enough triple-distilled vodka to cover the zest and lid the jar. Let the alcohol extract the oil from the zest for two weeks; shake the jar every day. Pour the extract through a sieve lined with cheesecloth and store it in a jar.
