Perfect Sponge Cake

1 1/4 cups sifted cake flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
6 eggs
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup cold orange juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extractPreheat oven to 325 degrees F. Use a 12-inch tube pan.Sift flour with baking powder.Separate eggs, putting whites in large bowl of electric mixer, yolks in next size bowl. Beat whites at high speed until frothy, then sprinkle in the cream of tartar and continue beating until whites stand in peaks but still cling to the side of the bowl (takes about 3 minutes). Add 1/2 cup sugar very gradually, still beating at high speed, until you have a smooth, satiny meringue. Set aside.Beat yolks at high speed for 2 minutes. Pour in the orange juice, beating for 1 more minute, still at high speed. Add remaining sugar very gradually to yolks; add salt and vanilla extract and continue beating until mixture looks light and smooth. Remove from mixer and fold flour into egg yolks until batter is smooth. Do not beat. Pour this batter into the meringue and fold batter very gently again until all patches of egg white disappear. Pour into ungreased tube pan and bake 1 1/4 hours. Cool, upside down on a rack, for one hour, then pull cake carefully away from pan with your hands.
