Directions
Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).
Sift cocoa with 1 cup sugar twice.
Sift flour with remaining sugar three times.
Beat egg whites until foamy.
Add salt and cream of tartar.
Beat until whites hold peaks.
Fold whites into cocoa mixture and fold flour mixture into cocoa mixture.
Blend in vanilla and almond extract.
Pour into ungreased tube pan and bake 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Invert until cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar and fresh berries.
If your tube pan does not have "legs" invert the pan onto a bottle with a long neck.
This will keep the sides from slipping down and shrinking the cake.
