Chocolate Angel Food Cake with a Chocolate Whipped Cream "frosting"

Brie made this last night when we were over there and it was so yummy I knew it was going to be the perfect dessert to take over to the Viehwegs. That family loves chocolate! Yummy

I made sure to make extra of the "frosting" for dipping the extra strawberries in.

beat until stiff peaks form. Gradually add cocoa mixture about 1/4th at a time. Spoon into an ungreased angel food cake pan. Carefully run knife through to remove large air pockets. Bake on lowest rack at 375* for 35-40 min or until the top springs back with touched lightly. Cool completely before removing.
