Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine caster sugar, vegetable oil, orange juice, and orange extract, whisking until smooth.
- Sift in the cake flour and mix gently until a velvety batter forms.
- In a separate bowl, whip egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add cream of tartar and remaining caster sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the meringue into the cake batter with a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter into a non-greased chiffon tube pan and smooth the top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the cake upside down for at least 1 hour.
- Whip double cream until it thickens, then add icing sugar and whip until soft peaks form.
- Frost the cooled cake with the orange whipped cream and decorate as desired.

Notes
Ensure egg whites are whipped to the right stiffness and that the chiffon pan is non-greased for proper rise.
