Orange Fluff Cake

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 cup of white sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add egg yolks: Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Alternate wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the orange juice. Mix until just combined.
6. Beat egg whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
7. Fold in egg whites: Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
8. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Frost (optional): Once cooled, frost the cake with a simple powdered sugar glaze.

Tips:

• For a stronger orange flavor, use freshly grated orange zest.
• Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature for easier whipping.
• To avoid overmixing, use a gentle folding motion when incorporating the egg whites into the batter.
