ORANGE CHIFFON CAKE WITH ORANGE GLAZE
This is one of my Grandmother's recipes. I'm not sure where she got the recipe. I do remember how delicious it was when she used to bake this cake when I was a kid.

Steps:
- 1. Move oven rack to lowest position. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In large bowl, sift cake flour, 1 1/4 cups sugar and baking powder; set aside. In separate bowl, mix oil, egg yolks, orange juice and orange peel together; set aside.
- 2. In mixer bowl, on medium speed beat egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy. On high speed,continue beating until soft peaks form. (Soft peaks are reached when the peaks drop when beaters are lifted). Gradually add sugar until firms peaks form. (Sugar needs to be added slowly so it will dissolve and not weigh down the meringue. Whites should look glossy when beaters are lifted. The tip of the peaks will pull back slightly but still hold).
- 3. Beat flour mixture and orange juice mixture until well blended. Fold in egg whites. Gently pour batter into a 10" tube pan. Using a rubber spatula, smooth and level top of cake. Gently tap the pan against the kitchen counter to remove any large air bubbles. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan. Cool Completely (about 1 hour). To remove cake, run a knife against the sides of the pan. Turn out on a plate. Then run the knife in one swift motion around the base of the pan. Allow the cake to gently fall onto the plate. Glaze cooled cake.
- 4. Beat butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add orange peel and orange juice. Beat mixture until blended. Drizzle glaze over cooled cake.

[email protected]I'm not a fan of orange desserts, but this cake was surprisingly good. The orange flavor is subtle and not overpowering, and the cake itself is very moist and fluffy.

[email protected]This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

[email protected]I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my cake didn't rise as much as I expected. It was still tasty, but it wasn't quite as light and fluffy as I was hoping for.

[email protected]This cake is a bit dense, but it's still very moist and flavorful. I think it would be even better if it was made with a lighter flour, such as cake flour.
