Tangerine Angel Food Cake
Ingredients
1 1/2 C. large egg whites, room temperature
1 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 1/2 C. granulated sugar
1 1/4 C. cake flour, sifted
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tangerine, zested
2 ounces fresh tangerine juice
1 Tbsp. large egg whites
8 ounces powdered sugar
Cooking Instructions
Preheat oven to 375. In large mixing bowl, whip egg whites until white and foamy. Add cream of tartar and salt and whip until soft, droopy peak form. Until whipping, add 2/3 sugar in a thin stream and whip until stiff and glossy. With sifter, sift remaining sugar and flour together 3 times to aerate and lighten mixture. Work quickly so white does not deflate. Fold into egg whites 1/3 at a time. Fold in vanilla and tangerine zest. Gently spoon mixture into an ungreased tube pan. Smooth top and bake 30-35 minutes, until golden brown. Turn the pan upside down and hang it around neck of wine bottle to cool to room temperature Slide butter knife around sides of pan and put a serving plate on top. Turn over and knock cake out onto plate. When cooled, make glaze: Whisk together tangerine juice and whites, add powdered sugar and stir until smooth. Drizzle glaze evenly over cake. Set and cool.
