Chocolate Angel Food Cake

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup cake flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ cups egg whites I used 11
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar
  • teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375. Set aside a 10 x 4-inch tube cake pan; do not grease.
  2. Triple-sift cake flour, cocoa, and powdered sugar. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine egg whites, cream of tartar, salt, vanilla, and almond extract. Beat until foamy. Gradually add sugar beating until meringue holds stiff peaks.
  4. Sift flour-sugar mixture over the meringue and fold in gently just until the flour-sugar mixture disappears.
  5. Place batter into tube pan. Gently cut through batter with a knife to break up any air pockets. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Invert until cool.
