Average Rating: 4.875

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 35 min. Bake: 30 min. + cooling
YIELD: 16 servings.

Ingredients

  • 12 egg whites
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 1/3 cup baking cocoa
  • 3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1-2/3 cups sugar

  • ICING:
  • 1-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/3 cup baking cocoa
  • 1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon fat-free milk
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • 1. Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sift flour and cocoa together twice; set aside.
  • 2. Add the cream of tartar, extracts and salt to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Gradually fold in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time.
  • 3. Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on the lowest oven rack at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until lightly browned and entire top appears dry. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • 4. Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate.
  • 5. For icing, in a small bowl, beat the confectioners’ sugar, cocoa, sour cream, milk and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cake. Refrigerate leftovers.
