Instructions
- 1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease 16 muffin cups.
- 2 Stir flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl until well combined. Make a well in the center and add oil, egg yolks, orange peel, vanilla, orange juice, and water. Mix well by hand until smooth with no lumps. Set aside.
- 3 Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: egg whites should form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak.
- 4 Fold flour mixture into egg whites until incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups to about 2/3 full.
- 5 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
