- Oil a metal 8-inch-square or possibly 8-inch-wide round cake pan, or possibly a 9-inch-wide, 1 1/2- to 2-inch-deep heart-shaped pan. Line pan bottom with waxed paper cut to fit; oil paper. Dust pan with cocoa, shaking out excess.
- In a bowl, mix 2/3 c. cocoa, flour, soda, and salt.
- In another bowl with a mixer, beat to blend sugar, 1/4 c. salad oil, egg whites, vanilla, and 1 c. water. Add in flour mix; stir to mix, then beat till batter is smooth. Scrape batter into prepared pan.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven till cake begins to pull from pan side and springs back when lightly pressed in center, 35 to 40 min.
- Let cold in pan on a rack for 10 min. Run a thin knife between cake and pan rim, invert cake onto a rack, lift off pan, and gently pull off and throw away waxed paper. Let cold about 1 hour.
- Invert a flat plate onto cake; holding rack and plate together, turn cake over onto plate. Spread cake with whipped frosting, swirling with small spatula. Lightly dust with more cocoa.
- This recipe yields 8 servings.
