• 12 large egg whites**
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• DAFFODIL CAKE:
• 1 recipe angel food cake (see related recipe or use your own)
• 6 egg yolks, lightly beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
• GLAZE:
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/4 cup orange juice concentrate, thawed

• I used the equivalent liquid egg whites, which worked out quite well. actually!
