I found this recipe in an old church cookbook from Waterloo, Iowa. It is a good chocolate cake.
3 cups sifted cake flour
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup cocoa
2 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup hot coffee
1 cup sweet butter
1 cup sour cream
2 tsp vanilla
5 egg whites
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Thoroughly grease three 9-inch cake pans. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt together and sift three times. Combine cocoa, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and coffee. Cool. Cream butter and 1 1/2 cups of the sugar until light and fluffy. Add cocoa mixture, sour cream, and vanilla. Add flour mixture, stirring until smooth. Beat egg whites with remaining sugar until stiff. Fold into the batter. Pour batter into pans and bake for 30 minutes. Cool and remove from pans. Frost with your favorite frosting.
