Ingredients

– 7 egg yolks – 50 g (¼ cup) superfine sugar – ¼ tsp salt – 4 tablespoons cooking oil – 2 tablespoons grated orange rind – 60 ml (4 Tbsp) orange juice – few drops of orange colouring, I omitted – 110 g (4 oz.) self-raising flour – 7 egg whites – ½ teaspoon cream of tartar, I substitute with 1 tsp lemon juice – 130 g (2/3 cup) superfine sugar

Step 1

Preheat oven to 170°C (325°F). Prepare a 9-in (22 cm) tube pan, ungreased.

Step 2

To make egg yolk batter, beat egg yolks with sugar till pale, then add in salt and oil, mix briefly till looks like mayonnaise.

Step 3

Add in grated orange rind, orange juice and orange colouring (I omitted) and mix well. Fold in sieved flour until forms batter.

Step 4

To make egg white foam, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until mixture forms soft peaks. Gradually add in sugar, beating at high speed until stiff peaks form.

Step 5

Gently fold beaten egg white foam into egg yolk batter in 3 batches until fully combined. (Do not overmix)

Step 6

Pour batter into ungreased 9-in (22 cm) tube pan. Tap the pan a few times on table top to get rid of any trapped air bubbles in the batter.

Step 7

Bake in preheated oven at 170°C (325°F) for 50-60 minutes or until cooked. (When lightly pressed, the cake will spring back)

Step 8

Immediately upon removing the cake from the oven invert the pan (turn upside down) and place on a bottle or flat surface so it is suspended over the counter. Let cool completely before removing the cake from pan.

Step 9

To remove cake from pan, run a thin bladed knife or a palette knife around the side of the pan and center core, release the cake and run the knife along the base of the pan to remove cake.
