Steps

Heat the oven to 350 F and set an ungreased 10-inch tube pan nearby.
Sift the flour, cocoa, cinnamon, and half the sugar into a bowl.
Beat the egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar until foamy, then add the remaining sugar gradually.
Beat in the vanilla and red food coloring, then fold in the dry mixture.
Pour the batter into the tube pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the top springs back.
Cool the cake upside down for 20 minutes, then remove it from the pan.
Beat the cream cheese, coconut milk, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla into a glaze, then spread it over the cake and top with toasted coconut and fruit.
