How to Make Orange Glow Chiffon Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, sugar, and salt until the sugar is dissolved.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the yolk mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  6. Gradually add the cream of tartar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  7. Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it.
  8. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the batter.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 80 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Invert the pan immediately onto a wire rack and let the cake cool completely upside down.
  11. Once cooled, run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the pan to release the cake.
  12. Dust with powdered sugar and serve!
