Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup white sugar

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup vegetable oil

8 egg yolks

2 tbsp grated orange peel

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/3 cup orange juice

1/3 cup water

8 egg whites

1/2 tsp cream of tartar

1/2 cup white sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease 16 muffin cups.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Create a well in the center and add oil, egg yolks, orange peel, vanilla, orange juice, and water. Mix well by hand until smooth with no lumps. Set aside.

In a separate large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. The peaks should not be stiff but rather soft and mound-like.

Gently fold the flour mixture into the egg whites until incorporated. Carefully pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Bake for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
