directions

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F
  • Sift the flour twice with the cocoa powder and 1/2 cup of the sugar.
  • With an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form when the mixer is removed from the batter.
  • Add half of the remaining sugar and beat for 1 minute. Add the remaining sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating after each addition.
  • Stir in the vanilla.
  • Fold the flour and sugar mixture into the egg whites, 1/4 cup at a time, until just incorporated.
  • Put the batter in an ungreased 10" tube pan and bake until the cake is springy to the touch, about 1 hour. Invert the pan and let the cake cool completely before removing from the pan. (This can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.)
  • For the icing and oranges: Whisk the sugar, milk and vanilla or rum extract together in a mixing bowl. Stir in the coconut.
  • Drizzle the icing over the cake.
  • Serve each slice of cake with orange sections arranged like a fan on the side of each piece.
