Prep 20 min · Cook 40 min · Total 2 hr · Makes 1 tube cake (12 slices)

Ingredients
- For the cake:
- 11 egg whites
- 1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- For the orange cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon zest and 1/4 cup juice from 1 orange
- 2 tablespoons powdered augar
- 3 oranges, cut into supremes
Directions
- Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat it to 350 degrees F. Add the egg whites to the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attached. In another bowl, sift the confectioner's sugar, cake flour, and salt together. Beat the egg whites on medium-high until soft peaks appear, about 1 1/2 minutes. While the mixer is still running, slowly pour in the granulated sugar and keep beating until the peaks are stiff, about 1 minute longer. Add the sifted dry mixture in 4 additions, mixing until everything is evenly combined. Carefully pour the batter into an ungreased tube pan, then bake until the cake is a rich golden brown, about 40 minutes. Set it on a rack to cool.
- Clean the mixer bowl, then add the cream, orange zest, orange juice, and powdered sugar. Whip on medium-high until peaks form, about 1 minute. Top the cake with the orange cream and orange supremes before serving.
