Yumm..who says you can’t have sweet dark chocoloate on Christmas?

Chocolate cake:

You will require:

• 2/3 c. sifted cake flour
• 1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa
• 1 1/2 c. sugar, divided
• 12 large egg whites
• 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Sift flour, cocoa, and 3/4 cup sugar together three times; and keep the mixture aside.
• Beat egg whites, but make sure that the procedure happens at a low speed. Beat them in a large mixer bowl until foamy, for about 5 minutes.
• Add vanilla, cream of tartar as well a pinch of salt. Now enhance the speed to medium, while beating the remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, for 5 minutes.
• When sugar is mixed well, continue beating to stiff peaks, for 2 minutes or more.
• Fold one-third of the dry ingredients over whites.
• Repeat the same procedure two more times until they are blended perfectly.
• Now you can pour the batter into ungreased 10-inch tube pan.
• Cut through batter.
• Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes, until the spring of the top layer backs when gently pressed with fingertip.
•  Invert pan onto funnel to cool down.
• Remove from pan.
• This cake is absolutely fat free. Add powdered sugar or decorate it in your own way.
