Beat egg whites with one cup sugar until stiff. Set aside. Beat egg yolks with the remaining cup of sugar until the mixture turns a pale yellow.

Combine the oil and the orange juice in one bowl and the dry ingredients in a second bowl. Alternately add and mix the dry and the liquid ingredients into the yolk mixture. Fold in the egg white mixture.

Pour batter into a greased tube pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 minutes to one hour.

Remove tube pan from oven and invert until cool.
