1 c All-purpose flour
1/3 c Unsweetened cocoa
1 3/4 c Granulated sugar, divided
1 3/4 c Egg whites (about 11), at
- room temperature
1/2 t Salt
1 1/2 ts Cream of tartar
2 ts Vanilla

Fruit compote, optional (see accompanying recipes)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a small bowl, combine flour and cocoa with 3/4 cup
sugar. Mix well and set aside.

Place egg whites in a large mixing bowl. Add salt and
cream of tartar. Beat at high speed of an electric
mixer until soft peaks form. Test by turning off
machine and raising beater slowly. Gradually add the
remaining sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after
each addition. Continue beating until stiff peaks form
when you remove the beaters.

With a rubber spatula, gently fold in the vanilla.
Then sprinkle a fourth of the flour mixture over the
beaten egg whites. Using an under-and-over motion,
gently fold in the flour with the spatula. Do 5
strokes, rotating the bowl as you fold in the flour.
Repeat three more times, until the flour mixture is
all used up. Then fold an additional 10 strokes. Flour
mixture should be blended into the egg whites.

Gently pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube
pan. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until a cake tester
comes out clean. Invert tube pan over the neck of a
glass bottle. Keep the cake inverted until completely
cool, at least two hours.

With a sharp knife, carefully loosen cake from the
pan. Serve plain or garnished with a fruit compote.
