2 tangerines or 1 navel orange

1 1/2 cup confectioners sugar

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.

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