6 tbsp. cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 medium eggs, divided
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Confectioner's sugar

Sift flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt, three times, onto a sheet of waxed paper.

Beat egg whites until thick and fluffy. Add sugar gradually while beating, and then add yolks and vanilla. Mixture should be thick and lemony.
