Instructions
Sunshine Cake
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, or large bowl and hand mixer, beat egg whites and salt until foamy; add cream of tartar and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the granulated sugar, then set aside.
- In a clean bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored.
- Gently fold 1/3 of the egg white mixture into the yolks and blend well, then add back in to the egg whites.
- Add orange zest and flour, and gently fold until incorporated, until there are no streaks of flour left.
- Bake at 325 degrees in an ungreased 9 1/2-inche tube pan (angel food pan, bundt pan) for 40-60 minutes (depending on your oven - mine only took about 43 minutes).
Orange Creamsicle Glaze
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Whisk until incorporated, adding more cream if you want it thinner. Drizzle over cake before serving. Makes enough glaze for the whole 9 1/2-inch cake.
