Yield: 12 Servings
| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| ¼ cup | Unsweetened cocoa powder |
| ¼ cup | Hot water |
| 1½ cup | Granulated sugar; divided |
| ¾ cup | Cake flour |
| ¼ teaspoon | Salt |
| 12 \N | Egg whites |
| 1 teaspoon | Cream of tartar |

1 Preheat oven to 350° F. In a medium bowl, combine cocoa and hot water.
Mix well; cool. In a small bowl, combine ¾ cup of sugar, flour, and salt.
Mix well; set aside.
2 In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer set on high speed, beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar; continue beating until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar; beat until stiff peaks form.
3. Sift half of flour mixture over egg white mixture; fold gently until combined. Repeat with the remaining flour mixture. Stir 1 cup of egg white mixture into cocoa mixture. Gently but thoroughly fold cocoa mixture into remaining egg white mixture until combined.
4. Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Run a small knife through batter to remove air pockets. Bake until springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
5. Invert pan and place center tube over the neck of a bottle. Cool completely. Using a knife, loosen cake edges. Invert the cake onto a serving plate; garnish with raspberries and nectarine slices.
