Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups egg whites, at room temperature
1 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/8 cups sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Grated zest of one medium tangerine
1/4 cup freshly squeezed tangerine juice
1 tablespoon egg white*
1/2 pound confectioner's sugar
Slices of fresh tangerines to garnish

1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Make the cake: in a large mixing bowl, whip the egg whites until white and foamy.
2
Add the cream of tartar and salt and continue whipping until soft, droopy peaks form.
3
Still whipping, add 1 cup of the sugar in a thin stream and whip until stiff and glossy.
4
With a sifter, sift the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cake flour together 3 times to aerate and lighten the mixture.
5
(Or sift through a strainer onto a sheet of waxed paper.)
6
Fold into the egg whites 1/3 at a time.
7
Fold in the vanilla and the tangerine rind.
8
Gently spoon the mixture into an ungreased tube pan and bake 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown.
9
Turn the pan upside down and hang it around the neck of a wine bottle to cool to room temperature.
10
Slide a butter knife around the sides of the pan and put a serving plate on top.
11
Turn over and knock the cake out onto the plate.
12
( The browned crust of the cake will stick to the pan).
13
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.
14
Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cake.
15
Let set in a cool place.
16
Garnish with the tangerine slices.
17
*RAW EGG WARNING
18
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness.
19
To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
