Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 1/2 c Egg whites (10-12 eggs)
1 c Sifted flour
1 1/2 c Sifted confectioners sugar
3 tb Unsweetened cocoa
1/2 ts Cinnamon
1 1/2 ts Cream of tartar
1 ts Vanilla
1 c Sugar
Bring egg whites to room temperature, about 1 hour. Meanwhile,
sift flour, cocoa, powdered sugar, and cinnamon together three
times. Set aside. In a large mixer bowl, beat the egg whites, cream
of tartar, and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium speed until
soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, 2 Tablespoons at a time,
beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a larger
bowl if needed. Sift about 1/4th of the flour mixture over the beaten
egg whites. Fold in gently. Repeat, folding in the remaining flour
mixture in fourths. Pour into ungreased 10 inch tube pan. Bake on
the lowest rack in the oven at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or
until the top springs back when touched. Immediately invert cake
(leave in pan); cool thoroughly. Loosen sides of cake from pan;
remove.
Makes 16 slices.
