1 c Flour -- sifted
1 1/2 c Confectioners sugar -- sifted
3 tb Unsweetened cocoa

Bring egg whites to room temperature, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, sift flour, cocoa, powdered sugar, and cinnamon together

In a large mixer bowl, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and
vanilla with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the sugar, 2 tb at a time, beating on high speed until
stiff peaks form. Transfer to a larger bowl if needed.
Sift about 1/4th of the flour mixture over the beaten egg whites.
Fold in gently. Repeat, folding in the remaining flour mixture in
fourths.

touched.
Immediately invert cake (leave in pan); cool thoroughly. Loosen sides
