Servings: Frosts and fills an 8 or 9-inch layer cake
 
Comments:
Fluffy white frosting is a very nice alternative to your basic Buttercream frosting. The beaten egg whites give the frosting a light and airy texture. A great frosting for a birthday cake.

This frosting is sometimes called "7-minute frosting".

Ingredients:
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions:
Place water, corn syrup, sugar, cream of tartar, and salt in a heavy saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar is completely dissolved, forming a syrup.

Place egg whites in a very clean and grease free bowl of an electric mixer. With wire whip attachment, turn mixer to HIGH speed and whip until egg whites begin to hold shape, about 45 seconds. Continuing on HIGH speed, gradually add hot syrup in a thin, steady stream, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Add vanilla and continue whipping about 5 minutes or until frosting loses gloss and stands in stiff peaks. Use immediately.

Makes enough to frost a 8 or 9-inch layer cake, including between the layers.
