DEVILISH ANGEL FOOD CAKE

2/3 cup sifted cake flour

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

12 large egg whites

1 teaspoon cream of tartar

2 teaspoons warm water

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Sift together cake flour, cocoa, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl; set aside.

3. Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, warm water, vanilla extract and salt in a large bowl at high speed of a mixer until foamy. Gradually add 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating mixture until stiff peaks form. Sift flour mixture over egg white mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, and fold flour mixture in gently.

4. Spoon batter into an ungreased, 10-inch tube pan, spreading evenly. Break air pockets by cutting through the batter with a knife. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Invert pan; let cool completely. Loosen cake from sides of pan using a narrow spatula; revert cake onto plate.
