Ingredients
Directions
3/4 cup Softasilk Cake Flour1/4 cup Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder1-1/2 cups sugar9 egg whites1/4 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon cream of tartar3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract3/4 teaspoon almond extract
This is adapted from Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything." I would recommend using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment for this. Hand mixers are not strong enough.
1 - Preheat the oven to 325F
2 - Sift together the flour, cocoa powder and 1/2 cup of the sugar
3 - Beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the salt and cream of tartar and continue to beat until they hold soft peaks; the tops of the whites should droop a little bit when you remove the beaters. Beat in the remaining sugar and extracts and contine to beat until the peaks become a little stiffer.
4 - Gradully and gently fold in the flour mixture, using a rubber spatula or your hand. Turn the batter into an ungreased 9- or 10- inch angel food cake pan and bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the cake is firm, resilient and nicely browned.
5 - Invert the cake onto a rack and let cool for about an hour. Cut carefully around the sides of the cake and remove. Cool completely before slicing with a serrated knife or pulling apart with two forks.
