Ingredients

2 1/4 cups cake flour, sifted

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 cup oil

6 egg yolks, room temperature

1 cup orange juice

2 tablespoons grated orange peel

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 tablespoon lemon juice

8 egg white, room temperature

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325 F.

Sift flour, sugar, salt and baking powder into a medium size bowl. Make a well in center. Add oil, egg yolks, orange juice and peel, vanilla and lemon juice. Beat until satiny smooth.

In a large bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Whites should be stiffer than for angel food cake.

Using a rubber spatula, gently fold egg whites, 1/4 at a time, into yolk batter just until blended. Pour into a ungreased 10 - inch bundt pan.

Bake in a preheated oven for 55 minutes. Increase temperature to 350 F. Bake 10 minutes more or until lightly browned and springs back when lightly touched. Invert pan into a cooling rack until cake is cooled.
