TANGERINE GLAZE:

2 tangerines or 1 navel orange

1 1/2 cup confectioners sugar

In another large bowl, with mixer on high speed, beat 7 egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form.

Gradually sprinkle in remaining 1/2 cup sugar, 2 Tbsp. at a time and beat until whites just stand in stiff peaks when beaters are lifted

With rubber spatula gently fold in 1/3 of the whites into egg yolk mixture to loosen the batter, then fold in remaining whites.

Pour batter into ungreased 10" angel food cake pan.

Bake 60 to 65 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched with a finger.

Invert cake in pan on metal funnel or bottle, cool completely about 2 hours.

With a knife carefully loosen cake from side and center of pan.

From tangerine grate 1 tsp. peel and squeeze 2 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. juice.

In a small bowl stir together confectioners sugar, vanilla, tangerine peel, 2 Tbsp. tangerine juice until smooth, adding remaining tsp. if necessary for good spreading consistency.

Spoon glaze over cooled cake, spreading with back of spoon and allowing glaze to run down sides of cake.
