Chocolate angel food cake

(this sounds soooo good!)

1 1/8 cups egg whites (8 - 9)
1 1/2 cups sugar, sifted
3/4 cup cake flour, sifted
1/4 cup cocoa sifted
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. almond flavoring
1 tsp. vanilla

* Sift together 6 times, 3/4 cup sugar, cocoa, and flour; divide into 4 parts. Set aside. Beat egg whites until foamy, add salt and cream of tartar. Continue beating and gradually add remaining sugar. Beat until egg mixture will stand in firm peaks, but not stiff and dry. Gently and quickly fold in 1/4 of flour mixture at a time, adding the flavoring with the last 1/4. Pour into ungreased 10" tube cake pan; run spatula through to cut air bubbles.
