 Categories: Cakes, Diabetic
      Yield: 6 servings
 
      1 c  All-purpose flour
    1/3 c  Unsweetened cocoa
  1 3/4 c  Granulated sugar, divided
  1 3/4 c  Egg whites (about 11), at
           -room temperature
    1/2 ts Salt
  1 1/2 ts Cream of tartar
      2 ts Vanilla
 
  Fruit compote, optional (see accompanying recipes)
  
  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  
  In a small bowl, combine flour and cocoa with 3/4 cup sugar. Mix well
  and set aside.
  
  Place egg whites in a large mixing bowl. Add salt and cream of
  tartar. Beat at high speed of an electric mixer until soft peaks
  form. Test by turning off machine and raising beater slowly.
  Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, beating well
  after each addition. Continue beating until stiff peaks form when you
  remove the beaters.
  
  With a rubber spatula, gently fold in the vanilla. Then sprinkle a
  fourth of the flour mixture over the beaten egg whites. Using an
  under-and-over motion, gently fold in the flour with the spatula. Do
  5 strokes, rotating the bowl as you fold in the flour. Repeat three
  more times, until the flour mixture is all used up. Then fold an
  additional 10 strokes. Flour mixture should be blended into the egg
  whites.
  
  Gently pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Bake 35 to
  40 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Invert tube pan
  over the neck of a glass bottle. Keep the cake inverted until
  completely cool, at least two hours.
  
  With a sharp knife, carefully loosen cake from the pan. Serve plain or
  garnished with a fruit compote.
