CHOCOLATE ANGEL FOOD CAKE with WHIPPED CREAM ICING

1 pkg of white Angel Food Cake Mix (such as Pillsbury)

Follow directions on package but sift 3 level Tbls of cocoa powder in

while beating all together and add ¾ tsp vanilla and ¼ tsp almond

extract before beating is completed. Bake as directed. Leave cake in

the pan until cool and ready to ice.

Remove from pan and slice into 3 layers. The top slice will be the

bottom of the iced cake. Place it on a plate.

ICING and FILLING

1 pint heavy cream, whipped

1 cup powdered sugar

⅓ cup cocoa powder

Sift sugar and cocoa together first to be ready to add to cream when

it is half whipped. Finish beating and spread on cake layers and then

ice all over. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Keep under

refrigeration because of the cream.

Serves 10 to 12 depending on size of slices.
