CAKE: Position rack in center of oven. Preheat to 350
degrees F. Line bottom of 10" springform pan with foil;
brush foil with oil. Cut cardboard into 9" round and cover
with foil. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt
in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 c
sugar and beat until stiff glossy peaks form. In another
large bowl, beat egg yolks, remaining 1/2 c sugar,
vegetable oil, orange juice concentrate, orange peel and
lemon juice until blended. Sift cake meal and potato
starch over yolk mixture and beat at low speed just until
blended. Gently fold whites into mixture in two additions.

GLAZE: Melt margarine in a heavy large saucepan over low
heat. Add chocolate and stir until melted and smooth, Mix
in orange juice concentrate and honey. Let cool until
thickened but still spreadable; about two hours.

ASSEMBLY: Cut around pan sides to loosen cake. Release
sides. Cut cake in half horizontally, leaving cake bottom
on pan bottom. Place top half of cake, top side down on
foil-wrapped cardboard round. Spread 1 1/2 cup chocolate
glaze in thin layer over entire cake, anchoring crumbs.
Refrigerate cake 30 minutes.
Rewarm remaining chocolate glaze over low heat until just
pourable. Place rack on baking sheet; place cake on rack.
Pour graze over cake coating entirely and smoothing sides
with metal spatula. Chill cake on rack until glaze is firm.
Transfer to platter. (Remove glaze on sheet for another
use.) (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Let stand
at room temperature 1 hour before serving>) GARNISH: Cake
with flowers and orange peel strips if desired.
