Sponge Cake
From Diana Rattray
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 1/2 cups egg whites (from about 12 large eggs)
* 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 1/3 cup sugar
* 1 1/3 cups sifted flour (I substituted 1/2 cup potato starch, 1/2 cup Tapioca Starch, 1/2 Sweet Rice Flour, 1 teaspoon xanthum gum)
* 2/3 cup egg yolks (about 8 to 9 large eggs)
* grated rind of 1 orange or 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
* confectioners' sugar
PREPARATION:
Beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar and the salt; beat until whites begin to hold their shape. Gradually add sugar; beat until mixture is stiff and glossy. Carefully fold sifted flour into egg white mixture.
Combine yolks and orange rind; beat until thick and lemon colored. Gradually fold yolk mixture into egg white mixture. Pour into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan and bake at 325° for 1 1/4 hours. Invert on rack until cool. Remove and dust with confectioners; sugar.
