Ingredients:

  • 1/2 tsp plus 4 tbsp sugar, divided
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp confectioners' sugar

Directions:

  1. Place egg whites in small bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Coat a 6-in. round baking pan with cooking spray and sprinkle bottom and sides with 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Line pan with waxed paper and coat the paper; set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, beat egg yolks for 2 minutes. Gradually beat in 2 tablespoons sugar. Add the orange peel, cloves and salt; beat 1 minute longer. Stir in almonds.
  3. With clean beaters, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff peaks form. Stir a third of egg white mixture into almond mixture. Gradually fold in remaining egg whites. Spread evenly into prepared pan.
  4. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Gently remove waxed paper. Cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 4 servings.
