2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup vegetable oil
7 eggs, separated and at room temperature

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar or 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Vanilla Glaze (recipe follows)

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).

3. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar (or lemon juice) in extra-large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Gradually pour chocolate batter over beaten egg whites, folding with rubber spatula just until blended. Pour into an ungreased 10-inch (25 cm) tube pan.
