--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/4  cup           unsweetened cocoa powder
     1/4  cup           hot water
   1 1/2  cups          granulated sugar -- divided
     3/4  cup           cake flour
     1/4  teaspoon      salt
  12                    egg whites
   1      teaspoon      cream of tartar
                        raspberries and nectarine slices -- for garnish

1 Preheat oven to 350° F. In a medium bowl, combine cocoa and hot water.
Mix well; cool.  In a small bowl, combine 3/4 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.
