1 3/4 cups sifted cake flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups sugar
6 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans or muffin cups. In a large bowl, combine sour cream and vanilla. Mix and sift flour, cocoa, baking soda and sugar into a small bowl. Add flour mixture to sour cream mixture; beat for 30 seconds with a mixer at low speed scraping the bowl frequently. Beat for 3 minutes more with a stand mixer at medium-high speed or a hand mixer at high speed, scraping the bowl several times.
In a clean bowl, fold in egg whites until combined. Pour batter into pans. Bake for the time recommended below, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool in pans for about 12 minutes. Remove cakes from pans and finish cooling on a wire rack. Frost, if desired.
Cocoa Frosting
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 2/3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
3-4 tablespoons milk
Sift together cocoa and powdered sugar. Add butter and milk; stir until well blended and thick enough to spread.
