Description

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups egg whites (about 10)
• 1-1/2 cups confectioners sugar
• 1 cup cake flour
• 1/4 cup baking cocoa
• 1-1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sugar
• FROSTING:
• 1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup baking cocoa
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Chocolate leaves, optional

Directions

• Directions Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sift together confectioners sugar, flour and cocoa three times; set aside. Add cream of tartar 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. 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 375° for 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned and entire top appears dry. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour. Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate. In a large bowl, combine the first five frosting ingredients; cover and chill for 1 hour. Beat until stiff peaks form. Spread over the top and sides of cake. Store in the refrigerator. Garnish with chocolate leaves if desired. Yield: 12-16 servings.
