VALENCIA ANGEL FOOD CAKE

  • 1 1/3 cups egg whites (10 to 12 eggs)
  • 1 1/3 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons grated orange rind
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 cup sifted cake flour

Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt until egg whites are stiff, glossy and finely grained. Add orange rind and 1 cup sugar gradually, folding in well. Fold in orange juice. Sift the flour with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar several times and fold into the mixture. Bake in ungreased 10-inch tube pan at 325° F for 1 hour, or at 375° F for 40 minutes. Invert pan and let cake cool. Frost with Orange Frosting.

Variation: Tangerine rind in both cake and frosting gives unusual flavor.
