This is a very fluffy merangue icing. I love to use it on lemon cake (sort of a take on lemon merangue pie!) It’s quite stable and can be piped for borders etc as well.

7 Minute Frosting

Ingredients

  • 2 egg whites
    3/4 cup white sugar
    1/3 cup Lily white corn syrup
    2 tbsp water
    1/4 tsp cream of tartar
    1/4 tsp salt
    1 tbsp vinegar
    1 tsp clear vanilla

Instructions

    Bring a pot of water to boil on top of the stove. Combine all ingredients together in a metal bowl. Place bowl over pot of boiling water (like a double boiler). With a wisk or hand mixer beat the mixture for 3 minutes until it starts to get foamy and all the sugar is dissolved. Mixture should be quite warm. Remove mixure from heat and then beat frosting with a mixer for approximately 3-4 minutes until stiff peaks form. Frost cake immediately.
