Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Step 2
Make sure a 10" x 4" tube pan is clean, dry and free of grease.
Step 3
Grate the chocolate bars on the fine holes of a cheese grater, NOT a teeny-holed citrus grater.
Step 4
(Make sure you do find orange-flavored dark chocolate-- it is not very difficult to find, and absolutely essential to the recipe).
Step 5
Separate the eggs, and let the egg whites come to room temperature; about 15 minutes.
Step 6
Sift 1 cup of flour, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and the salt onto a piece of waxed paper.
Step 7
Sift them together a total of three times.
Step 8
Beat the egg whites until frothy.
Step 9
Add the lemon juice and continue beating.
Step 10
Sprinkle the remaining cup of sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, over the egg whites and continue beating at medium speed until the egg whites are glossy and form soft peaks that bend over at the top.
Step 11
Do not overheat, or the egg whites will lose their volume.
Step 12
Sift 1/4 cup of the dry ingredients over the egg whites and fold.
Step 13
Gently stir in the vanilla extract and orange rind.
Step 14
Alternately fold in the chocolate and remaining dry ingredients, working in small batches, until just incorporated.
Step 15
Pour the batter into the tube pan and bake for 45 minutes, until the top is lightly browned.
Step 16
A knife inserted in the center of the cake should come out clean.
Step 17
Remove from the oven and invert the pan.
Step 18
Allow the cake to cool for 30 to 45 minutes.
Step 19
Run a knife around the edges of the pan and tube to loosen the cake.
