Gradually add sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Gradually fold in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time., Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets.

With an electric mixer, beat the cream mixture on low speed until frothy; increase speed to high and beat until stiff. Using a serrated knife, split cake into two horizontal layers. With the tines of a fork, remove a portion from the cut sides of the top and bottom layers to form a tunnel when the layers are place together. Frost entire cake with remaining whipped cream. Chill. Cake may be prepared a day ahead.

Steps:

• Whisk powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk and cream of tartar in large bowl until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 1 hour. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead.)
• Using electric mixer, gradually beat cream into chocolate mixture. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. Place cake on platter. Spread top and sides of cake with icing. Slice into wedges and serve.

Steps:

• Whisk sugar, cocoa, milk and 1/8 tsp cream of tartar until smooth.
• Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.
• With an electric mixer, gradually beat cream into chocolate mixture, add 1 tsp cream of tartar and beat until stiff peaks form.

Steps:

• CAKE:.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Sift flour, cocoa and 1/3 cup sugar 5 times.
• Add salt to egg whites and beat until stiff.
• Add cream of tartar to the egg whites and the balance of the sugar gradually, 1 Tablespoon at a time, beating until very stiff.
• Add vanilla.
• Fold in the flour mixture a little at a time.
• Pour batter into a 9" tube pan and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Reduce heat to 300 degrees Fahrenheit to finish baking.
• Total baking time is about 1 hour.
• FROSTING:
• Combine egg whites, water, vanilla, cream of tartar, and sugar in upper part of a double boiler.
• Mix well, beat over heat until mixture stands up in peaks.
• If electric beater is used, bring water in lower part of double boiler to a rapid boil and beat for about 2 minutes.
• Remove from stove and beat 3 or 4 minutes at high speed until it stands in high peeks. Be careful not to scrape beater against bottom of pan as it will darken the mixture.
• Allow the mixture to cool, keeping it covered with a damp cloth to prevent a crust from forming.
• Cream butter thoroughly; add cocoa (use more cocoa if more intense flavor is desired) and salt.
• Have marshmallow mixture and butter at about same temperature and consistency before combining them (otherwise, frosting will have a tendency to separate or curdle).
• Keep cool, not cold. If frosting should curdle, add about 2 Tablespoons hot melted butter and beat well.
• Frost top and sides of cake.

Steps:

• Brush excess crumbs off of the cake before frosting. (If you are in a hurry, using a store bought cake cuts the baking of this cake to 0, thus the cooking time is not necessarily accurate if you do not bake one).
• Whip the cream until it forms peaks that stand up.
• FOLD in the hot fudge topping, and cracked Heath Bars.
• Frost the Angel Food Cake with the above topping, including the inner circle.
• Refrigerate several hours to let it set.
• Enjoy!
