Cake Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of caster sugar, ½ cup of vegetable oil, ¾ cup of fresh orange juice, and 1 ½ cups of cake flour. Mix until the batter is smooth and well blended, about 2 minutes.
- In a separate, grease-free bowl, add 6 egg whites and whip with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4 to 6 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cake batter using a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan and bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 35 minutes.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and immediately invert the tube pan. Allow the cake to cool completely upside down for about 1 hour.
- In a clean mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of double cream and add 2 tablespoons of icing sugar until soft peaks form, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the cake from the tube pan and frost the top with the zesty orange whipped cream right before serving.

Notes
For the best results, whip egg whites to stiff peaks, fold gently, and always cool the cake upside down to retain its airy texture.
