Impress your friends with this cake. Serve on a platter with orange twists. Top with orange zest for an over-the-top look.
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups cake flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 large eggs, plus 1 white, at room temperature
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup fresh orange juice
3 tablespoons grated orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 pound confectioners' sugar, sifted
Directions:
1. Make cake: Preheat oven to 325°F. Sift flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt. Separate eggs. Whisk yolks, oil, juice, zest and vanilla. Whisk oil mixture into flour mixture.
2. Beat whites until frothy. Add cream of tartar; beat until firm. Beat in 3/4 cup sugar, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until peaks form. Fold 1/4 of whites into batter; add remaining whites.
3. Bake in an ungreased 10-inch tube pan 1 hour and 10 minutes, until a tester comes out clean. Invert pan over neck of a bottle to cool. When cool, run a knife around edges to remove cake. Place on a rack.
4. Make glaze: Stir juice into sugar; drizzle over top of cake and down sides.
