Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Stir flour, 1 cup (250 mL) sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Make a well in the centre. Add the orange zest, orange juice, liquid eggs, oil and vanilla; beat until smooth with wooden spoon.

  2. In large mixer bowl, beat liquid egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar and beat until stiff but not dry. In two stages, gently fold the egg white mixture into the flour mixture. Pour into 2, ungreased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 (1.5 L) loaf pans.

  3. Bake for 45 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Cool completely on a rack. Run a thin knife around the edge and remove cake from pan; sprinkle with icing sugar. Serves 16.

Tips

  1. For a simple glaze, blend 1 cup (250 mL) icing sugar with 1 tbsp (15 mL) each melted butter and orange juice until smooth. Drizzle over cake.

  2. To freeze, transfer completely cooled cake to a freezer bag and remove all the air. Reserve in the freezer for up to 1 month.
