This frosting reminds me of marshmallows-but not as sweet. It was originally part of another recipe, but I think it would be great on a variety of cakes. Active prep time includes cooking time. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups sugar |
2 egg whites, at room temperature |
2 teaspoons corn syrup |
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. In the top of a double boiler, combine sugar, egg whites,corn syrup, cream of tartar, and 1/3 cup water.
2. Place over simmering water.
3. Beat on high speed with handheld electric mixer until icing forms soft peaks, about 2 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and beat in vanilla.
5. Continue beating 5 minutes, or just until stiff peaks form.
6. Spread on cooled cake immediately.
7. Makes enough to frost a 2-3 layer cake.
