This is a favorite from a very old Better Homes and Gardens book. I use it to make my Orange Icebox Cake (recipe 75433). Ingredients:
6 egg yolks |
1 tablespoon orange zest |
1/2 cup orange juice |
1 cup sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 1/3 cups flour |
6 egg whites |
1 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/2 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 325ยบ.
2. Beat the egg yolks until very thick and light-colored.
3. Add the orange peel and the juice and continue to beat until very thick.
4. Beat in 1 cup of sugar and the salt.
5. Gently fold in the flour.
6. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until they reach the soft-peak stage.
7. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar.
8. Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture.
9. Spoon into ungreased 10-inch tube pan.
10. Bake 55 minutes, or till done.
11. Invert pan to cool.
