12 ServingsPrep: 20 min. Bake: 40 min. + cooling

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups egg whites (about 10)
1 cup cake flour
2 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
GLAZE:
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons half-and-half cream

Directions

Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for
30 minutes. Sift together the flour, 1 cup sugar and cocoa twice;
set aside.
Add the cream of tartar, vanilla and salt to the egg whites. Beat on
medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining
sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, on high until stiff glossy
peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Gradually fold in flour mixture,
about 1/2 cup at a time.
Gently 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
350° for 40-50 minutes or until lightly browned and entire top
appears dry. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.
