Meet the Cook: There were 11 of us to cook for when I was young. This was a recipe that my mother had. If there were cracked eggs from the laying hens she kept, it was always a good way of using them up! Like my parents, my husband and I have nine children, all of them grown. We are also the grandparents of 13.

- Let eggs stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks, water, oil and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients; beat until well blended. In another bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form; fold into batter.
- Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on the lowest oven rack at 325° for 60-65 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 12-16 servings.
