Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), whip the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt and continue whipping until soft peaks form. With the mixer running, gradually add 1 cup of the sugar and continue whipping until stiff and the sugar has dissolved, about 30 seconds.
- Sift the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with the pre-sifted cake flour 3 times, to aerate the mixture. Fold into the egg whites, then fold in the vanilla, and zest.
- Spoon the batter into ungreased mini tube pans. Bake until light golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool by turning the cake (in the pan) upside down until it cools to room temperature. Run a long, sharp knife blade around the cakes to loosen, then knock the cakes out onto a plate, or work them out with your fingers. The outside of the cake will remain in the pan leaving the cake whiter and more angelic looking.
- Make the glaze: Stir the ingredients together until smooth. Dip the tops of the cakes in the glaze. Let set for at least 30 minutes before serving, or until the icing is hard. Serve with sorbet.
- Serving suggestion: sorbet .

Steps:
- For sauce:
- Combine sugar and 1/3 cup water in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high; boil without stirring until syrup is deep amber, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Carefully add cream (mixture will bubble vigorously). Place pan over low heat; stir until caramel bits dissolve and sauce is smooth. Remove from heat; add butter, cardamom, and pinch of salt. Stir until butter melts. Cool.DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to room temperature or rewarm over low heat before using.
- For cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift powdered sugar, flour, and salt 3 times. Place in medium bowl.
- Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large bowl until foamy. Add cream of tartar; beat until whites are opaque and soft peaks form. Gradually add superfine sugar, beating until whites are thick and shiny and fluffy peaks form (peaks should droop over gently; do not overbeat). Add orange peel and vanilla; beat just until blended. Sift 1/4 of flour mixture over whites. Using large rubber spatula, gently fold flour mixture into whites. Repeat with remaining flour mixture in 3 more additions. Transfer batter to ungreased 10-inch-diameter angel food cake pan with removable bottom and 4-inch-high sides (do not use nonstick pan); smooth top.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the sugar to a food processor and blend until the sugar is super fine, about 1 minute. Reserve half (about 3/4 cup) of the sugar and set aside.
- Add the cake flour, the remaining sugar (about 3/4 cup), and the salt to a medium bowl. Sift into another medium bowl. Sift the mixture back into the original bowl. This helps get rid of any lumps and creates a very fluffy light texture in the cake.
- In a large bowl, add the orange zest, cream of tartar and egg whites. Slice the vanilla bean in half, scrape the seeds out with a knife, and add the seeds to the bowl with the egg whites. Using a hand mixer, begin to beat the egg white mixture on medium-high speed. While mixing, slowly stream in the remaining sugar. Beat the mixture until it holds medium peaks, this could take up to 10 minutes.
- Set the mixer aside and sift a light dusting of the flour mixture on top of the egg white mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold the flour into the egg white mixture, this is done by slicing through the middle of the mixture and folding up and over along the side of the bowl to incorporate the flour. Keep sifting and folding until all the flour mixture has been incorporated.
- Carefully spoon the mixture into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Use a knife to swirl around the pan 2 times to release any unwanted air bubbles. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool upside down on a cooling rack. Let cool for at least 1 hour before removing the cake from the pan and cooling completely.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Make sure a 10" x 4" tube pan is clean, dry and free of grease.
- Grate the chocolate bars on the fine holes of a cheese grater, NOT a teeny-holed citrus grater.

- Do not overheat, or the egg whites will lose their volume.
- Sift 1/4 cup of the dry ingredients over the egg whites and fold.
- Gently stir in the vanilla extract and orange rind.
- Alternately fold in the chocolate and remaining dry ingredients, working in small batches, until just incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the tube pan and bake for 45 minutes, until the top is lightly browned.
- A knife inserted in the center of the cake should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and invert the pan.
- Allow the cake to cool for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Run a knife around the edges of the pan and tube to loosen the cake.
- You can serve this as is, or with a little whipped cream, or ice cream-- whatever your heart desires.

- Stir to combine.
- Bake in a bundt pan at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.
- Cool completly. Frost with Cool Whip and decorate with the mandarin oranges.
- I used 3 Tbs. orange zest, but that is just a personal preference. You can also add half the caan of oranges into the batter before baking, but for some reason it always makes my cake stick to the pan. So just experiment. It is just as good with the oranges on top of the cake instead of in it.
