Directions
1  	Heat oven to 375 degree F. Sift flour, 3/4 cup of the Sugar, cinnamon, and cloves together 3 times; set aside. Beat egg whites in large bowl with electric mixer until foamy, 4 minutes. Gradually increasing speed to medium, add cream of tartar and salt. Add remaining 3/4 cup Sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat at medium speed to stiff peaks, 2 minutes. Beat in the 1 teaspoon orange peel.

2 	Sift one third of dry ingredients over whites; carefully fold in with rubber spatula. Repeat two more times with remaining dry ingredients, just until blended.

3 	Pour batter into ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Cut through batter with knife to remove any large air pockets. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until top of cake springs back when pressed with fingertip.

4 	Immediately invert pan onto funnel or bottle; let stand until completely cool.

5 	For glaze, combine confectioners' Sugar, rum, the 1/4 teaspoon orange peel, and 1 tablespoon of the orange juice, adding additional juice as needed to make a thick glaze.

6 	For orange Compote, peel one orange with vegetable peeler; cut peel into julienne strips. Bring water and the 1/2 cup granulated sugar to boil in saucepan; add peel and boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat. With sharp knife, remove peel and white pith from remaining oranges; cut between membranes to remove sections. Combine orange sections, any juice from sections, and liqueur with syrup and peel in bowl. Makes 5 cups.

7 	Run knife around side of pan and unmold cake. Transfer to serving plate and drizzle with Glaze. Serve with orange Compote. Makes 10 servings.
