    Recipe Introduction


    Posted by: LittleSister_MD

    List of Ingredients




    7 eggs, separated
    1-1/2 cups sugar, divided
    6 tablespoons orange juice
    4-1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel
    1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3/4 teaspoon confectioners' sugar

    Recipe



    In a large mixing bowl, beat egg yolks until slightly thickened. Gradually add 1/2 cup
    sugar, beating until thick and lemon-colored. Beat in orange juice and peel. Sift
    together flour and salt; add to egg mixture. Beat until smooth.
    In another mixing bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the remaining
    granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold a fourth
    of the egg whites into the batter; fold in remaining whites. Gently spoon into an
    ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets.
    Bake on the lowest oven rack at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until cake springs back
    when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan onto a wire rack; cool completely, about
    1 hour. Run a knife around sides of cake and remove to a serving plate. Dust with
    confectioner's sugar. Yield: 12 servings
