Ingredients

  • 3/4 c. cake flour
  • 4 Tbsp. Baker's breakfast cocoa
  • 1 1/4 c. egg whites (10 to 12 egg whites)
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 1 1/4 c. sifted granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

Method

  • Sift flour once, measure, add cocoa and sift flour again. Beat egg whites and salt on large platter with flat wire whisk. (We use electric mixer.)
  • When foamy, add cream of tartar and continue beating until eggs are stiff enough to hold up in peaks, but not dry.
  • Fold in sugar carefully, 2 tablespoons at a time, until all is used.
  • Fold in vanilla.
  • Then sift small amount of flour over mixture and fold in carefully; continue until all is used.
  • Pour batter into ungreased angel food cake pan and bake in a slow oven at least one hour.
  • Begin at 275°, increasing heat slightly to 325° after 30 minutes.
