Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and do not grease the tube pan.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add sugar and continue whisking until glossy peaks form.
- In another bowl, mix together the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks, oil, orange juice, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the yolk mixture, stirring until combined.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until just combined.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the ungreased tube pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Once baked, invert the pan on a bottle neck or similar to cool upside down.
Serving
- Once completely cool, run a knife around the edges, and gently remove the cake from the pan.
- Serve plain or with a light drizzle of orange glaze or whipped cream.
