    1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
    12 large egg whites, room temperature
    4 tablespoons instant coffee granules
    1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

    Recipe



    Sift the cake flour and 1 1/4 cups of confectioners' sugar
    together in a small bowl and set aside. Place egg whites,
    coffee, cream of tartar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
    Beat at high speed until soft peaks form. Add vanilla and
    continue beating. Gradually mix in the granulated sugar,
    a few tablespoons at a time. Keep beating on high speed
    until stiff peaks form. Fold in the sifted flour mixture. Spoon
    batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Bake in a 375
    F. degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until cake springs
    back when lightly touched. Invert pan and cool completely.
    Loosen the cake from the sides of pan with a metal spatula
    or butter knife.

    ICING: Mix coffee powder and 1 teaspoon of cocoa
    powder into the hot water until dissolved. Stir in the
    confectioners' sugar. Drizzle icing over cake and
    sprinkle with remaining cocoa powder.
