    List of Ingredients




    Cake:
    1/2 stick butter
    6 eggs, separated
    1 cup sugar
    1 teaspoon orange rind
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1 tablespoon baking powder

    Syrup:
    1 cup orange juice
    1 cup water
    1 cup sugar

    Recipe



    Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8- by 12-inch pan with 1/2 stick melted butter.
    Make syrup first: combine orange juice, water and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes. Remove from heat; allow to cool.
    Meanwhile, separate eggs. Beat egg whites until stiff with an electric mixer; set aside. Rinse off beaters.
    In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until light yellow. To the yolks, add sugar, orange rind and vanilla; cream well.
    In separate bowl, mix flour and baking powder together; set aside.
    Gradually add egg whites, alternating with 2 tablespoons of flour mixture, to egg yolk mixture. End with egg whites. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
    Remove cake from oven; cut into diamond shapes. Pour cold syrup over hot cake. Let cool completely.
    Yields 15 servings.
