How to Make Orange Angel Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Sift together the cake flour, powdered sugar, and salt four times. Set aside.
- In a large, clean, grease-free bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy.
- Add the vanilla extract, orange extract, and orange zest. Beat until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the cream of tartar, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
- Gently fold in the sifted flour mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan.
- Run a knife or spatula through the batter to release any air bubbles and smooth the top.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top springs back when gently touched.
- Invert the pan immediately onto a wire rack and let the cake cool completely upside down.
- **Make the Orange Glaze:** Whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice, vanilla extract, and orange zest until smooth.
- Once the cake is completely cool, carefully remove it from the pan. Drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing some to run down the sides.
