Separate the eggs. Allow the egg whites and yolks stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. In a medium mixing bowl beat egg yolks with an electric mixer on high speed about 5 minutes or until thick and lemon colored. Add orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla; beat on low speed until combined. Gradually beat in the 1 cup of sugar at low speed. Increase to medium speed; beat until mixture thickens slightly and double in volume.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the flour over the egg yolk mixture; fold in until combined. Repeat with remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time. Set egg yolk mixture aside.

Thoroughly wash beaters. In a large mixing bowl beat egg whites and cream of tarter on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the 1/2 cup of sugar, beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold 1 cup of the beaten egg whites mixture into the egg yolk mixture; fold egg yolk mixture into remaining egg whites mixture. Pour into an ungreased 10 inch tube pan.
