thawed, not reconstituted
1/2 cup flavorless vegetable oil
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 large egg yolks
7 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
powdered sugar for dusting
Preheat oven to 325° F. Cut a ring of
parchment to fit the top of a 10-inch
angel food pan and place it in the pan.
Place the flour, 1-1/4 cups of the sugar,
baking powder, and salt in a large mix-
ing bowl. Mix on speed 1/Low to blend
and aerate, 10 seconds. Make a well in
the center of the flour mixture. Add
the zests, juices, oil, orange juice
concentrate and extracts to the well;
mix on speed 2/Low for 30 seconds and
scrape the bowl. Add the yolks and mix
on speed 2/Low for 30 seconds longer;
scrape the bowl and reserve.
Clean the beaters with hot water and
soap; dry completely. Place the egg
whites and cream of tartar in a second
bowl (stainless, glass or copper, not
plastic). Beat on speed 5/High until soft
peaks form, about 1-1/2 minutes. After
soft peaks form, add the remaining
1/4 cup of sugar 1/2 tablespoon at a
time, until the egg whites are stiff and
shiny, but not dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir 1
cup of the egg whites into the reserved
batter, then gently fold the remaining
egg whites into the batter 1/3 at a time.
Gently spoon into the prepared pan and
bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 70
minutes, until a cake tester comes out
clean when tested. Invert the pan
immediately onto a wire rack and let the
cake cool completely in the pan upside
down on the rack. Run a long thin knife
around the outer and tube edges of the
pan and turn the cake out of the pan
onto the rack; remove parchment. Dust
with powdered sugar before serving.
