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.
