           - brushing
      1 c  All-purpose flour
    1/2 c  Semolina flour (pasta
           - flour)
  1 1/2 ts Baking powder
      1 ts Ground cardamom
    1/2 ts Kosher salt
    1/4 ts Baking soda
    1/2 c  Sugar; divided
      3 lg Eggs; separated
    2/3 c  Plain whole-milk yogurt
  1 1/2 ts Grated orange zest
      1 ts Vanilla extract
           Chopped unsalted pistachios;
           - lightly toasted

  Special equipment: 9"-diameter springform pan

  Ingredient Info: Semolina flour (pasta flour) is available
  at better supermarkets and at Italian markets.

  A mild or fruity olive oil works best in this
  cardamom-scented cake. Just try not to eat all of the
  candied orange slices before the cake cools.

  For candied orange and syrup: Line a baking sheet with
  parchment paper. Bring sugar, honey, cardamom, and 3 cups
  water to a boil in a medium heavy saucepan, stirring until
  sugar dissolves. Add orange slices. Reduce heat to
  medium-low; simmer, turning orange slices occasionally,
  until tender and syrup is reduced to 3 1/4 cups, about 40
  minutes. Arrange orange slices in a single layer on prepared
  baking sheet; remove cardamom pods and seeds. Strain syrup.

  DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover syrup and orange
  slices separately; chill. Return orange slices to room
  temperature and rewarm syrup slightly before using.

  For cake: Preheat oven to 350øF/175øC. Brush pan with oil.
  Whisk both flours and next 4 ingredients in a medium bowl.
  Using an electric mixer, beat 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup oil
  in a large bowl for 1 minute. Beat in yolks, then flour
  mixture. Beat in yogurt, zest, and vanilla. Using clean, dry
  beaters, beat egg whites in another medium bowl until soft
  peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining 1/4 cup sugar until
  firm peaks form. Fold egg whites into batter just to blend
  in 2 additions. Transfer to prepared pan; smooth top.

  Bake cake until a toothpick inserted into center comes out
  clean, about 25 minutes. Pierce hot cake all over with a
  metal skewer. Slowly drizzle 3/4 cup warm syrup all over.
  When syrup is absorbed, slowly pour 3/4 cup more syrup over.
  Reserve remaining syrup for serving. Let cake cool in pan on
  a wire rack. Run a thin knife around edge of pan to release
  cake. Remove pan sides. Arrange candied orange slices over.
  Sprinkle pistachios over. Cut into wedges and serve drizzled
  with more syrup.
