2 to 3 large oranges 2 to 3 large lemons 2 1/4 c. cake flour (not self-rising) 1 1/2 c. granulated sugar 1 Tbsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 1/2 c. vegetable oil 5 large eggs, separated 2 large egg whites 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar Orange Glaze: 1 c. confectioners sugar 1 tsp. grated lemon peel 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract about 5 tsp. orange juice Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare Chiffon Cake: From oranges, grate 1 tablespoon peel and squeeze 1/2 cup juice. From lemons, grate 1 teaspoon peel and squeeze 1/4 cup juice. In a large bowl, combine flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in center. Add orange peel and juice, lemon peel and juice, oil and yolks to well. With wire whisk, stir until smooth. In separate large bowl, with mixer at high speed, beat all egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form when beaters are lifted. Sprinkle in remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until sugar is dissolved and egg whites stand in stiff, glossy peaks. With rubber spatula, fold one-third of beaten egg whites into egg yolk mixture, then fold in remaining egg whites until blended. Scrape batter into ungreased 9 to 10-inch tube pan; spread evenly. Bake until cake springs back when lightly pressed, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Invert cake in pan onto large metal funnel or bottle; cool completely. Run thin knife around cake to loosen from side and center tube of pan. Remove from pan and place on cake plate. Prepare Orange Glaze: In small bowl, combine confectioners sugar, lemon peel, vanilla and enough orange juice to make smooth glaze. Spoon over cooled cake. For Lemon-Lime Chiffon Cake: Substitute 2 teaspoons lime peel and 1/4 cup lime juice (from 3 limes) and 1/4 cup water for the orange.
