Preheat oven to 350°.
Grease and flour two 9” round cake pans.
Combine the cocoa powder and boiling water in a bowl and stir until cocoa is dissolved, about 30 seconds.
Combine the sugar and butter in a large bowl.
Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
Add the cocoa mixture and mix for 1 minute longer.
Beat in the sour cream, vanilla and baking soda.
Add the flour and salt.
Mix for 1 minute.
Beat the egg whites in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form, 2-3 minutes.
Fold into the batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared cake pans.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean.
Cut each cake layer into 2 even layers for 4 layers total.
Spread the frosting between the layers and over the top and side of the cooled cake.
