10
lemon zest
1
tablespoon finely chopped
orange zest
¾
cup fresh orange juice
½
cup flavorless vegetable oil (or use
a nut oil such as almond or walnut)
1½
teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1
teaspoon almond extract
Powdered sugar for dusting,
and Orange Apricot Glaze (recipe
follows)
1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Place the egg whites in a large, clean,
stainless or glass mixing bowl. Using
Speed 5, whip egg whites until frothy and
foamy, about 30 seconds, then add lemon
juice. Continue to whip until thick and
opaque, about 3 minutes, adding ½ cup
of the sugar gradually to the egg whites.
Continue to whip until stiff and glossy,
about 5 minutes total. Reserve.
3. Place the remaining 1 cup of the sugar,
the flour, baking powder, and salt in a
large mixing bowl. Mix on Speed 1 to
blend. Place the egg yolks, zests, juice,
oil, and extracts in a medium bowl. Mix on
Speed 2 for 30 seconds; scrape the bowl.
Make a well in the center of the dry
ingredients. Add the liquid/yolk mixture
and mix using Speed 2 until batter is
smooth, about 1 minute.
4. Stir 1 cup of the egg whites into the
batter using a spatula, then gently fold the
remaining egg whites into the batter, one-
third at a time. Gently spoon into a
10-inch angel food or tube pan and bake
in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or
until a cake tester comes out clean when
tested. Invert the pan immediately onto a
wire rack and let the cake cool completely
in the pan, upside down on the rack. This
will take about 2½ to 3 hours.
5. Run a long, thin knife around the outer
and tube edges of the pan and turn the
cake out of the pan onto the rack. Use a
long, wooden skewer to loosen the cake
from the center tube. Remove cake from
pan. Wrap in plastic wrap and store at
room temperature for up to 2 days, or
refrigerate up to 4 days. Dust with
powdered sugar before serving – and
drizzle with the Orange Apricot Glaze.
