---|---|
1 cup | sifted cake flour |
1 1/2 cups | sugar, divided |
1/4 cup | Dutch-process cocoa |
1/4 tsp | ground cinnamon |
12 large | egg whites |
1 tsp | cream of tartar |
1 tsp | salt |
2 tsp | vanilla extract |
1 1/2 tsp | fresh lemon juice |
1/2 tsp | almond extract |
Dark Cocoa Sauce |
Directions
Preheat oven to 325°.
Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, 3/4 cup sugar, cocoa, and cinnamon in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Beat egg whites in a large bowl with a mixer at high speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar and salt; beat until soft peaks form. Add 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Sift flour mixture over egg white mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, folding in each portion. Fold in vanilla, juice, and almond extract. Spoon the batter into an ungreased nonstick 10-inch tube pan, spreading evenly. Break air pockets by cutting through batter with a knife.
Bake at 325° for 50 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Invert pan, and cool completely. Loosen the cake from sides of pan using a narrow metal spatula. Invert the cake onto plate. Cut into 12 slices using a serrated knife. Serve with Dark Cocoa Sauce.
