Ingredients

12 egg whites
1 cup cake flour
1/3 cup baking cocoa
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1-2/3 cups sugar
ICING:
1-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream

Steps:

Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sift flour and cocoa together twice; set aside., Add the cream of tartar, extracts and salt to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form.

Gradually fold in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time., Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on the lowest oven rack at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until lightly browned and entire top appears dry. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour., Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate., For icing, in a small bowl, beat the confectioners' sugar, cocoa, sour cream, milk and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cake. Refrigerate leftovers.
