How to Make Paul Newman's Chocolate Orange Angel Food Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch angel food cake pan; dust with confectioners' sugar and tap out excess.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, and oil.
  4. In a third bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Then, gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the batter to lighten it.
  6. Fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the batter. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Invert the cake pan onto a wire rack and let the cake cool completely upside down.
  9. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar and serve!
