Try topping your favorite cake with this creamy cooked frosting from our Test Kitchen. A pink tint and a hint of cherry flavor make it extra special. Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups sugar |
4 egg whites |
1/4 cup water |
1/4 cup maraschino cherry juice |
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon cherry extract or 1/4 teaspoon almond extract |
Directions:
1. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, egg whites, water, cherry juice and cream of tartar. With a portable mixer, beat on low speed for 1 minute. Continue beating on low over low heat until frosting reaches 160° on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes.
2. Pour into the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer; add extracts. Beat on high until stiff peaks form, about 7 minutes. Yield: 8 cups.
