Daffodil Cake

Servings:

Cooking Time:

Ingredients:

• 10 egg whites
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ¼ cups white sugar
• ¾ cup sifted cake flour
• 6 egg yolks
• ½ teaspoon orange extract
• ½ cup sifted cake flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Wash the tube pan in hot soapy water to ensure it is totally grease-free.
• Bring the egg whites to room temperature. Beat egg whites until frothy. Add cream of tartar and salt.
• Beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in sugar. Divide whipped egg whites in half.
• In medium bowl, mix 3/4 cup of sifted cake flour into the beaten egg yolks.
• Stir in the orange extract.
• Fold in half of the whipped egg whites.
• In a separate medium bowl, fold 1/2 cup of sifted cake flour into remaining whipped egg whites.
• Stir in vanilla.
• Place about 1 cup of batter at a time, alternating colors, into the ungreased 10 inch tube pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes.
• Reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and continue baking for another 20 minutes.
• Without removing cake from pan, invert pan to cool.
• Once completely cooled, remove cake from the pan and frost with your choice of frosting. Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting works quite well.
