Let Them Eat Orange Bundt Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups cake flour (I use Softasilk)
1 1/8 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
1/3 cup canola oil
1 large egg
1/3 cup nonfat sour cream
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon orange extract
2 tablespoons orange zest, grated and packed
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350F and grease and flour a 12-cup bundt cake pan.
In a medium bowl, mix cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, with electric mixer on medium speed, whip egg whites until foamy.
Gradually add 1/4 c of the granulated sugar, whipping until whites are stiff but not dry; set aside.
In another large bowl, beat oil, remaining 1 cup granulated sugar, whole egg, sour cream, applesauce, vanilla, orange extract, orange zest and orange juice.
Gradually beat in flour mixture to the orange mixture.
Fold in the whipped whites to the batter.
Turn batter into prepared pan.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and springy to the touch.
Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan and cooling completely on wire rack.
Dust with confectioner's sugar before serving.
