3 With electric mixer on high speed, beat egg yolks in another large bowl until pale and thickened, about 2 minutes. On low speed, beat in lime zest, lime juice, orange juice, and liqueur. Add oil in slow, steady stream. Add egg yolk mixture to flour mixture and whisk until smooth.

4 With clean beaters and mixer on medium speed, beat egg whites and cream of tartar in another large bowl until soft peaks form. Increase speed to high. Add remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. With rubber spatula, fold one quarter of beaten whites into batter. Gently fold in remaining whites just until no streaks of white remain.
