INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Make the cake: In a large mixing
bowl, whip the egg whites until white and foamy. Add the cream of
tartar and salt and continue whipping until soft, droopy peaks form.
Still whipping, add 1 cup of the sugar in a thin stream and whip until
stiff and glossy. With a sifter, sift the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and
cake flour together 3 times to aerate and lighten the mixture. (Or
sift through a strainer onto a sheet of waxed paper.) Fold into the
egg whites 1/3 at a time. Fold in the vanilla and the tangerine rind.
Gently spoon the mixture into an ungreased tube pan and bake 30 to 35
minutes, until golden brown. Turn the pan upside down and hang it
around the neck of a wine bottle to cool to room temperature. Slide a
butter knife around the sides of the pan and put a serving plate on
top. Turn over and knock the cake out onto the plate. ( The browned
crust of the cake will stick to the pan). When the cake has cooled
thoroughly, make the glaze: Whisk together the tangerine juice and egg
whites, then add the powdered sugar and stir until smooth. Drizzle the
glaze evenly over the cake. Let set in a cool place. Garnish with the
tangerine slices. This recipe yields 8 servings. Recipe Source:
