Ingredients

• 12 pieces large egg whites
• 1.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.75 cup cake flour
• 1.5 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate (optional, for topping)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the tube pan is clean and free of grease—this helps give the cake its rise.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the cake flour, cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large, clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed using an electric mixer until foamy.

Step 4

Add the cream of tartar and salt to the egg whites, and continue beating until soft peaks form.

Step 5

Gradually add the remaining 3/4 cup of granulated sugar to the egg whites, about 1 tablespoon at a time, while beating on high speed. Continue until stiff, glossy peaks form.

Step 6

Gently fold in the vanilla extract using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.

Step 7

Sift the flour mixture over the egg whites in three additions, gently folding after each addition until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Run a knife or skewer through the batter to remove any large air bubbles.

Step 10

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top is dry, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Remove the pan from the oven and invert it onto a bottle neck or cooling rack. Allow it to cool completely upside down (about 1-2 hours).

Step 12

Once cooled, loosen the edges of the cake with a thin knife and carefully remove it from the pan.

Step 13

If desired, melt the bittersweet chocolate and drizzle it over the cake or dust with powdered sugar for decoration before serving.

Step 14

Slice the cake gently using a serrated knife to avoid compressing the airy texture. Serve and enjoy!
