Orange Chiffon Cake
To separate eggs, place 3 small bowls side by side. Crack the first egg and pull the shell halves apart. Pass the yolk back and forth, letting the white fall into the first bowl. Put the yolk in the second bowl. Transfer the white to the third bowl and repeat with the remaining eggs. (Always begin with an empty bowl, as a speck of yolk will prevent the whites from fully expanding.)
