Cooking Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, bring 1 inch of water to a simmer. In a large stainless-steel bowl, combine the sugar, egg whites, 1/4 cup of water, the cream of tartar and the salt. Set the bowl over the simmering water and beat the egg whites with a whisk or handheld mixer until the frosting holds stiff peaks, about 5 minutes.
  2. Remove the bowl and continue to beat until cooled and billowy, about 2 minutes more. Beat in the vanilla and frost the cake.

Yield: 12 servings

3. Still Hungry?

Make this fast, fluffy white frosting without any fuss.

  • Ice Cream Icing:

    mdpfirrman - December 6, 2006 01:17:05 PM PST
    Don't know where she came up with this, but my mom years ago made this exact recipe. It was called 'Ice Cream Icing'. You could eat buckets of this stuff it is so good if done right. You have to ensure it is cooked properly so as not to be granular tasting, but if done right, this is incredible on chocolate cakes.

    Yes, although the texture is quite different from the lard/vegetable shortening and sugar canned frostings that many people are accustomed to in home baking these days.
