Ingredients

  • 7 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup superfine sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 4 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 2 tablespoons grated orange rind
  • 4 tbsp orange juice
  • few drops of orange colouring I omitted
  • 4 oz (125g) self-raising flour
  • 7 egg whites
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar I substitute with 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2/3 cup superfine sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 170°C (325°F). Prepare a 9-in (22 cm) tube pan, ungreased.
  • To make egg yolk batter, beat egg yolks with sugar till pale, then add in salt and oil, mix briefly till looks like mayonnaise.
  • Add in grated orange rind, orange juice and orange colouring (I omitted) and mix well. Fold in sieved flour until forms batter.
  • 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.
  • Gently fold beaten egg white foam into egg yolk batter in 3 batches until fully combined. (Do not overmix)
  • 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.
  • Bake in preheated oven at 170°C (325°F) for 50-60 minutes or until cooked. (When lightly pressed, the cake will spring back)
  • 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.
  • 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.
