This is similar to marshmallow fluff in texture, I use this on my Wonderful Angel Food Cake it will also work on any cake, use any flavor extract for this and add in food colouring of choice if desired, I like to use coconut extract and add in shredded coconut to the icing and sprinkle more on top of the cake for decoration :)
Ingredients:
2 egg whites, room temperature (use whites from exta large or jumbo eggs)
3/4 cup white sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or use extract flavor of choice)
food coloring (optional)
Directions:
1. Combine the egg whites, sugar, corn syrup, water, cream of tartar and salt in the top of a double boiler over water that is at a hard boil.
2. Start beating immediately with a beater until the mixture stands at stiff peaks (this may take a while so do not give up!).
3. Remove from heat and add in vanilla or almond extract and food colouring (if using) continue to beat until the mixture is thick enough to spread easily on a cake.
