No-Cholesterol Passover Angel Food Cake
1-3/4 cups sugar, divided
1-1/4 cups matzo cake meal
2 Tbsp. finely grated orange zest
1-3/4 cups egg whites (about 12 large eggs)
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. orange juice
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Combine 3/4 cup sugar, matzo cake meal and orange zest in bowl.
Beat egg whites and salt in large mixer bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, alternating with orange juice. Beat well after each addition. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.

Pour batter into ungreased 10 inch tube pan. Bake at 325º for 50 minutes to an hour, or until cake springs back to touch.
