Servings: persons

6 large egg whites
3 large egg yolks
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar, divided
2 teaspoons hot water
1/2 cup orange juice, warmed
1-1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3/4 cup reduced-fat whipped topping

1
Let egg whites and egg yolks stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
2
In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until slightly thickened. Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar and hot water, beating until thick and pale yellow. Blend in the orange juice, vanilla and orange and lemon zests. Add reserved flour mixture to egg yolk mixture.
3
In another bowl and with clean beaters, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Fold a fourth of egg whites into the batter, then fold in remaining whites.
4
Spoon batter into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Bake on the lowest rack at 350u00b0 for 25-30 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan; cool completely. Run a knife around sides and center tube of pan. Invert cake onto a serving plate. Serve with whipped topping.
