Ingredients

  • 12 egg whites 2 cups
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 ½ cups sugar divided
  • ½ cup potato starch
  • ½ cup matzo cake meal or ground almonds
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice
  • 3 teaspoons orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups confectioner's sugar
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F, with rack in lower third of oven. 
  • Sift together the potato starch, cake meal, ½ cup of sugar, and vanilla sugar. set aside. 
  • Place egg whites and cream of tartar in a clean bowl. Beat with the whisk of an electric mixer until the egg whites become frothy, around 1 minute. Add the orange juice, lemon juice, vanilla extract and salt and beat on medium speed until the whites just begin to form peaks, around 3 minutes. Continue mixing on medium speed and gradually add the remaining 1 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. raise the speed to medium-high and beat until stiff peaks form and whites are glossy, around 2 minutes. 
  • Slowly fold the potato starch, cake meal and sugar mixture into the beaten egg-white mixture with a spatula. Then fold in the orange zest. 
  • Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan, preferably with a removable bottom. smooth the top, and then transfer to the oven and bake 40-45 minutes, until the cake is springy to the touch and beginning to brown on top. 
  • Invert the pan immediately onto a cooling rack to keep the cake from collapsing, and cool completely, for around 1 hour. Run a knife around the edges of the pan and the tube to release the cake. 
  • Once cake has cooled, stir confectioner's sugar and juices, and pour evenly over the top of the cake. Let the glaze set for 30 minutes.
