| 1 1/2 | cups | powdered sugar | |
| 3/4 | cup | cake flour | |
| 1/4 | cup | cocoa powder | |
| 1 1/2 | cups | egg whites | about 12, at room temperature |
| 1 1/2 | teaspoons | cream of tartar | |
| 1 | cup | sugar | granulated |
| 1 1/2 | teaspoons | vanilla extract | |
| 1/4 | teaspoon | salt |
Move oven rack to lowest position.
Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
Mix powdered sugar, flour and cocoa, set aside.
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in medium-large bowl on medium speed unitl foamy.
Beat in granulated sugar on high speed, 2 tablespoons at a time, adding vanilla and salt with last addition of sugar.
Continue beating until stiff and glossy, do not underbeat.
Sprinkle powdered sugar and flour mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, over meringue, folding in just until sugar-flour mixture disappears.
Push batter into ungreased tube pan, 10x4 inch.
Cut gently through batter.
Bake 30-35 minutes or until cracks in cake feel dry and top springs back when touched lightly.
Immediately turn pan upside down onto glass bottle or metal funnel.
Let hang 2 hours or until completely cool.
Remove from pan.
NOTES: Sifting the powdered sugar, flour and cocoa together once, seems to come out a little better.

One of the most daunting tasks for both the professional chef and the home cook is coordinating the preparation of multiple items so that they are completed at the same time. And it doesn't matter...
It takes a lot of time but it's worth eeeeevery second of it. Thank you for the recipe.
