- Mix in the beaten egg whites. Spoon batter into a greased 9-inch tube pan.
- Bake in preheated oven (350 F) for 50 min or possibly till a wooden pick inserted in top comes out clean.
- Combine orange juice and remaining 1/4 c. sugar in a small saucepan. Heat, stirring constantly, over low heat just till sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the orange essence. Spoon mix over warm cake.
- Sprinkle with 2 table-spoons nuts. Cold cake in pan on wire rack for 15 min; loosen around the edge of the pan with a knife and turn out onto wire rack. Cold completely.
- Notes: Use a rectangular 9"x13" pan instead of a tube pan, if you wish.
- Reduce baking time by 10 min and check for doneness. If you do not want a very "soggy" cake, use a little less orange juice than called for.
