Ingredients
  • 6 eggs, separated
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp cream of tartar
  • 1¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • zest of 1 orange
  • ¾ cup fresh orange juice (2 oranges)
  • ½ cup canola oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350℉. Have a 10" aluminum tube pan ready- do not grease.
  2. In a large glass bowl mix the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed. Once soft peaks form gradually add the first ¾ cup of granulated sugar. Continue mixing on medium speed until glossy and stiff peaks form (3-5 minutes).
  3. In a separate large bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and second ¾ cup of granulated sugar.
  4. Add in the orange zest, orange juice, oil and egg yolks. Mix on low speed about 30 seconds or just until smooth.
  5. Using a rubber spatula add in ¼ of the whipped eggs whites to the flour mixture, folding in carefully so as to not deflate the whites. Then add in the rest of the whipped egg whites, folding in until thoroughly blended.
  6. Pour batter into engrossed tube pan.
  7. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Immediately invert pan on counter and let cake cool completely in pan. Run a flat metal spatula around the outside of the cake to loosen it and then invert on to cake plate.
