This is a basically no-fat cake with all the flavor. You'll never want to eat a store bought angel food cake again!

Chocolate Angel Food Cake

1 Cup cake flour
1/2 Cup baking cocoa
14 egg whites ( should measure 2 cups )
2 Teaspoons cream of tartar
2 Cups sugar
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract ( almond tastes good too)

Sift flour and cocoa together 3 x, so it's mixed well, set aside In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Sprinkle with cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Blend in vanilla. Sift about a 1/2 of the flour mixture over the egg white mixture; fold in gently. Repeat folding in the remaining four mixture by 1/4ths. Pour into an ungreased 10 inch tube pan. Bake at 325 for 1 hour. Turn off the oven, but let the cake sit in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from he oven and immediately invert pan; cool. Loosen sides of the cake from pan and remove.
