Cake: Preheat oven to 350*F. Make sure 10”x4” tube pan is clean, dry and free of grease. Sift flour, confectioners’ sugar, and salt together four times. Place egg whites in large bowl; add vanilla, orange extract, and orange peel; beat until foamy; add cream of tartar and keep beating until firm, but still glossy; add granulated sugar, 2 Tbsp. at a time, to the egg whites and continue beating until they cling to the sides of the bowl and are stiff, but not dry; fold in flour mixture, a little at a time. Do not stir! Spoon batter into prepared pan; cut through batter to release any air bubbles and gently smooth top. Bake for 45-50 minutes until top springs back when gently touched. Cool upside down. Orange Glaze: Mix all ingredients together with a wooden spoon. Spread on top of cake, allowing some to dribble down the sides.
