Fluffy White Frosting
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.
Steps
In the top of a double boiler , combine sugar , egg whites , corn syrup , cream of tartar , and 1 / 3 cup water.
Place over simmering water.
Beat on high speed with handheld electric mixer until icing forms soft peaks , about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and beat in vanilla.
Continue beating 5 minutes , or just until stiff peaks form.
Spread on cooled cake immediately.
Makes enough to frost a 2-3 layer cake.
