Number Of Ingredients 10

7 medium egg yolks- unbeaten
7 egg whites
2 c sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 c granulated sugar
3 tsp double acting baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 c oil
3 Tbsp grated orange rind
3/4 c orange juice, fresh (seeds removed)
1/2 tsp cream of tartar

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 325 degrees.
  • 2. In a large bowl sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make well in flour mixture: pour oil in well.
  • 3. Add egg yolks, orange rind and juice. Beat until smooth.
  • 4. Pour egg whites into another bowl, add cream of tartar. Beat whites until they hold very stiff peaks (they should be stiffer than for meringue).
  • 5. Slowly pour egg-yolk mixture over whites, folding in gently. DO NOT STIR. Continue folding until mixture is just blended.
  • 6. Turn batter into UNGREASED tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 55 minutes-then at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean.
  • 7. Cool and remove-do not remove while still warm or cake will shrink. Invert and let tube pan rest on center tube or on cooling rack where there can be circulation around cake.
