    1                    egg large -- white only
    6      tablespoons   fresh orange juice
    6      tablespoons   skim milk
    1      tablespoon    grated orange zest
    1 1/2  cups          unbleached flour -- sifted

 ame, bake in two loaf pans that are 5 inches (13 cm) in length for 25 to 30 min
 utes) or 5 packets acesulfame-K for the fructose.  It will not change the excha
 nges.

 erted in the center comes out clean.  Cool in pan for 10 minutes.  Transfer cak
 e to a wire rack to finish cooling.  Wrap coo led cake in plastic wrap or alumi
 num foil and refrigerate until ready to serve.  Cut into 1/3-inch (.85 cm) slic
 es.  (Makes about 10 servings)
