Prepare oven 180C.  Grease & line a swiss roll tin with non-stick silicone paper.

Put egg whites in large bowl, whisk until frothy  Add cream of tartar, whisk until stiff, gradually adding half of the sugar until it forms stiff peaks.  Set aside.

Put egg yolks and remaining sugar in another bowl, whisk until thick and pale.  Stir in the sifted flour and cocoa powder.

Fold in the egg whites using a metal spoon until everything is evenly blended.  (Do not over mix)  Turn mixture into prepared tin and level top.

Turn the swiss roll immediately out onto the paper and remove the silicone lining paper.  Leave until cooled completely on a wire rack.
