Making Chocolate Angel Food Cake is both enjoyable and rewarding. Follow these steps for the perfect cake:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Do not grease the angel food cake pan.
2. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, sift together the cake flour, sugar, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
3. Whip Egg Whites: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the egg whites until foamy.
4. Add Cream of Tartar: Add the cream of tartar and salt to the egg whites. Continue whipping until soft peaks form.
5. Incorporate Vanilla: Add the vanilla and almond extracts. Whip until medium peaks form.
6. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the egg whites a little at a time, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
7. Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the ungreased angel food pan, smoothing the top.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is springy to the touch and lightly browned.
9. Cool the Cake: Once baked, invert the cake pan on a cooling rack and let it cool completely in the pan.
10. Release from Pan: Once cool, run a knife around the edges and gently remove the cake from the pan.
