We made this cake last week knowing it would be welcome at any Easter celebration. And with nearly zero fat, zero cholesterol, low sodium, and low calories, it will be a hit wherever you take it. So enjoy a slice. Ingredients
You will need a 10" two-piece tube pan for this cake.  PreparationPreheat oven to 350 ˙ degrees. Boil water. Add cocoa powder, whisking until blended, then whisk in vanilla. Set aside. In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup sugar, flour, and salt. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites until frothy, then add the cream of tartar. Beat until soft peaks form when the beaters are raised. Gradually beat in the remaining 1 cup of sugar, beating until very stiff peaks form when beaters are lifted. Remove 1 heaping cup of the egg whites and whisk into the cocoa mixture. Set aside. Now fold 1/4 cup at a time, the flour mixture into the egg whites. Combine egg white mixture and cocoa mixture, folding until batter is uniform and mixtures have been incorporated. Pour batter into the tube pan (ungreased). Bake for 40 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly pressed. The center will rise above the pan while baking and sink slightly when done. The cakes surface will have deep cracks like a soufflé. When finished, the cake must cool completely for 1-1/2 hours in an inverted position (this insures that cake won't deflate). Invert cake pan, placing the tube opening over the neck of a wine bottle to suspend it above the counter. Gently remove the cake from the pan by dislodging the sides with a long metal spatula or thin, sharp knife. Invert onto a serving plate. 14 servings Nutrition Facts for Chocolate Angel Food Cake
