Forevermama's Chocolate Chiffon Cake With Coffee Butter Frosting
I used to make this all the time when I was a teenager. I especially made it for a friends sister of mine who would randomly request that I make it and she would practically eat it by herself. The thing was, she remained thin (life just ain't fare for some of us.)

DIRECTIONS
- Cake:
- In large bowl of electric mixer, let egg whites warm to room temperature - about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place cocoa in small bowl; add boiling water, stirring until smooth. Let mixture cool about 20 minutes.
- Into a 2nd large bowl, sift flour with granulated sugar, soda and salt. Make a well in center; pour in salad oil, egg yolks, vanilla and cooled cocoa mixture. With spoon or electric mixer, beat just until smooth.
- Sprinkle cream of tartar over egg whites. With mixer at high speed, beat until very stiff peaks form when beater is slowly raised. Do not underbeat.
- Pour batter over egg whites; with rubber scraper or wire whisk, gently fold in just until blended. Turn batter into ungreased 10-inch tube pan.
- Bake 60 minutes, or until cake springs back when gently pressed.
- Coffee Butter Frosting:
- In a medium bowl, combining butter, sugar, coffee, 2 tablespoons hot milk and the vanilla.
- With electric mixer at medium speed, or wooden spoon, beat mixture until smooth and fluffy.
- If frosting seems too thick to spread, gradually beat in a little more hot milk.
