Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups egg whites, at room temperature
1 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/8 cups sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tangerine, grated zest
Tangerine glaze, recipe follows
1/4 cup freshly squeezed tangerine juice
1 tablespoon egg whites
8 ounces confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • 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. Sift the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the flour together 3 times to aerate and lighten the mixture. Work quickly so the egg white does not deflate (or sift through a strainer onto a sheet of waxed paper). Fold into egg whites 1/3 at a time. Fold in the vanilla and tangerine zest. Gently spoon the mixture into an ungreased tube pan. Smooth the top and bake 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Glaze: Whisk together the tangerine juice and egg whites, then add the confectioners' sugar and stir until smooth.
  • Remove cake from oven and 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 and drizzle the glaze evenly over the cake. Let set in a cool place.

Overall, I thought this cake was good, but not great. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I'm sure it would be perfect for someone with a sweet tooth.

I'm not a fan of frosting, so I left the glaze off of the cake and it was still delicious.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the almonds from the recipe and it still turned out great.

I made this cake gluten-free by using gluten-free flour and it turned out just as good as the original recipe.

I had some trouble finding tangerines, but I was able to use oranges instead and it still turned out great.

I'm not usually a fan of angel food cake, but this recipe changed my mind. The tangerine glaze is what really makes this cake special. It's the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.

This cake was a huge hit at my dinner party! The tangerine flavor was so refreshing and unique, and the cake itself was incredibly moist and fluffy. I will definitely be making this again.
