Weighing the flour and sugar guarantees a billowy cake that's light and airy (and worthy of Cooking Light Test Kitchens' highest rating for taste). Ingredients:
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
8 ounces granulated sugar (about 1 cup), divided |
6 ounces sifted cake flour (about 1 3/4 cups) |
1 tablespoon grated orange rind |
1/2 cup fresh orange juice (about 1 orange) |
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind |
5 tablespoons canola oil |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
3 large egg yolks |
8 large egg whites |
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
2 teaspoons powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°.
2. Combine baking powder, salt, 7 ounces sugar, and flour in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk until mixture is well combined.
3. Combine orange rind and next 5 ingredients (through egg yolks) in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add rind mixture to flour mixture, stirring until smooth.
4. Place egg whites in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar; beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1 ounce sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently stir one-fourth of egg white mixture into flour mixture; gently fold in remaining egg white mixture.
5. Spoon batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan, spreading evenly. Break air pockets by cutting through batter with a knife. Bake at 325° for 45 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Invert pan; cool completely. Loosen cake from sides of pan using a narrow metal spatula. Invert cake onto plate. Sift powdered sugar over top of cake.
