Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Be sure that your 10 inch tube pan is clean and dry. Any amount of oil or residue could deflate the egg whites. Sift together the flour, and 3/4 cup of the sugar, set aside.
- In a large bowl, whip the egg whites along with the vanilla, cream of tartar and salt, to medium stiff peaks. Gradually add the remaining sugar while continuing to whip to stiff peaks. When the egg white mixture has reached its maximum volume, fold in the sifted ingredients gradually, one third at a time. Do not overmix. Put the batter into the tube pan.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cake springs back when touched. Balance the tube pan upside down on the top of a bottle, to prevent decompression while cooling. When cool, run a knife around the edge of the pan and invert onto a plate.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), whip the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt and continue whipping until soft peaks form. With the mixer running, gradually add 1 cup of the sugar and continue whipping until stiff and the sugar has dissolved, about 30 seconds.
- Sift the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with the pre-sifted cake flour 3 times, to aerate the mixture. Fold into the egg whites, then fold in the vanilla, and zest.
- Spoon the batter into ungreased mini tube pans. Bake until light golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool by turning the cake (in the pan) upside down until it cools to room temperature. Run a long, sharp knife blade around the cakes to loosen, then knock the cakes out onto a plate, or work them out with your fingers. The outside of the cake will remain in the pan leaving the cake whiter and more angelic looking.
- Make the glaze: Stir the ingredients together until smooth. Dip the tops of the cakes in the glaze. Let set for at least 30 minutes before serving, or until the icing is hard. Serve with sorbet.
- Serving suggestion: sorbet .

Scrape down sides of bowl and beat on medium for 1 minute. Pour into angel food tube pan. Carefully place 1 cup of orange segments around top of cake batter. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until top of cake is cracked, dark golden brown, and not sticky.
- Remove cake from oven and invert onto glass bottle to cool.
- Frost cake with whipped topping and garnish with reserved orange segments.
- Cook's Note: Excessive stirring will cause whipped topping to become watery.
FIVE-SPICE ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH ORANGE CREME ANGLAISE-HOMEMADE
An angel-food with a hint of spice served over an orange cream sauce. It makes for quite an elegant dessert. You can make the cake up to 2 days in advance if you keep it tightly wrapped at room temperature. Be sure to keep the cake upside down until it is completely cooled--this will help keep it from collapsing when it is taken out of the pan. Cooling time is not included in prep time as it varies based on conditions. See Recipe #24232.

Steps:
- For cake: In bowl, sift together flour, five-spice powder and salt.
- Sift mixture a second time.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and extracts together at medium speed.
- Increase speed to high and continue to beat mixture until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the sugar, beating until just before peaks are stiff.
- Egg white mixture should be glossy and smooth.
- Be careful not to over beat, or the cake will not be as tall.
- Fold half of the flour mixture into the egg white mixture with a rubber spatula.
- Then fold in the remaining flour mixture, being careful not to overwork the batter and knock the air out.
- Pour batter into ungreased 10-inch tube pan and place on the middle oven rack.
- Bake at 350°F until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
- For Creme Anglaise: Meanwhile, in a 2-quart pan over medium-high heat, combine the half-and-half, sugar and orange peel.
- Bring the mixture to a scald (just below the boiling point), then remove from heat and set aside for the flavors to steep for 30 minutes.
- Return the pan to heat and reheat to scalding.
- Back to Cake: Remove cake from oven and let stand for a few minutes before inverting onto a rack to cool; do not remove cake from pan yet.
- Back to Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks.
- Add a ladle full of the scalded cream mixture to the yolks to temper them, whisking immediately.
- This is important or you will end up with scrambled eggs instead of a nice sauce.
- With heat at medium, add warmed yolks to pan, whisking constantly until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
- (Do not allow mixture to come to a boil.) Immediately pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl.
- Set the bowl into a larger bowl of ice water and allow it to cool.
- When cold, stir in the orange-flavored liqueur.
- Back to cake: When cake is completely cool, turn pan over and gently run a knife around the edges to loosen cake.
- Turn cake out onto a serving plate.
- Cut cake using a serrated knife and serve each piece atop a pool of creme anglaise.

Steps:
- For sauce:
- Combine sugar and 1/3 cup water in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high; boil without stirring until syrup is deep amber, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Carefully add cream (mixture will bubble vigorously). Place pan over low heat; stir until caramel bits dissolve and sauce is smooth. Remove from heat; add butter, cardamom, and pinch of salt. Stir until butter melts. Cool.DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to room temperature or rewarm over low heat before using.
- For cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift powdered sugar, flour, and salt 3 times. Place in medium bowl.
- Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large bowl until foamy. Add cream of tartar; beat until whites are opaque and soft peaks form. Gradually add superfine sugar, beating until whites are thick and shiny and fluffy peaks form (peaks should droop over gently; do not overbeat). Add orange peel and vanilla; beat just until blended. Sift 1/4 of flour mixture over whites. Using large rubber spatula, gently fold flour mixture into whites. Repeat with remaining flour mixture in 3 more additions. Transfer batter to ungreased 10-inch-diameter angel food cake pan with removable bottom and 4-inch-high sides (do not use nonstick pan); smooth top.
- Bake cake until golden and springy to touch, about 50 minutes. Immediately invert pan onto work surface if pan has feet, or invert center tube of pan onto neck of bottle or funnel. Cool cake completely.
- Gently tap bottom edge of pan on work surface while rotating pan until cake loosens. Transfer to platter. DO AHEAD: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover with cake dome; let stand at room temperature.
- For compote:
- Cut all peel and white pith from oranges. Using small sharp knife and working over bowl to catch juices, cut between membranes to release orange segments into bowl. Squeeze remaining juice from membranes into bowl. If orange segments are large, cut each in half or thirds. Cut passion fruits in half; scoop out pulp and add to orange segments. Add remaining fruits, sugar, mint, and pinch of salt. Toss gently to combine. DO HEAD: an be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
- Slice cake; transfer to plates. Spoon compote alongside; top with caramel.
Tips:
- Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you only have access to store-bought juice, look for 100% orange juice with no added sugar or preservatives.
- Zest the oranges before juicing them to get the most flavor out of the peel.
- If you don't have a saucepan, you can make the sauce in a microwave-safe bowl. Just be sure to heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the sugar or cornstarch as needed.
- Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Orange sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of desserts.
