1-3/4 cups sugar (a bit less works fine)
Combine 3/4 cup sugar, matzo cake meal, and orange zest in bowl.
Beat egg whites and salt in large mixer bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, alternating with orange juice. Beat well after each addition. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Fold in matzo meal mixture, 1/4 at a time. Use 15 under-and-over strokes for each addition, slightly turning the bowl after each stroke. Fold an additional 10 strokes.
Pour batter into ungreased 10" tube pan. Bake at 325°F 50 minutes to an hour, or until cake springs back to touch. Remove from oven, immediately invert pan and cool.
