From "Little Meals" by Rozanne Gold (Villard Books, 1993). Preheat oven to 350'F. Beat 6 of the egg whites until stiff. Set aside. In medium bowl, combine cocoa with sugar, oil, remaining 2 egg whites, coffee, vanilla extract and orange rind. Mix ground almonds with flour and then add to cocoa mixture. Stir well. Add one third of the beaten egg whites. Mix with rubber spatula. Then fold in the remainder of the beaten egg whites. Pour into an oiled and floured 8*" springform pan. Bake for 25 minutes at 350'F.
