This fluffy, egg-white frosting is made by combining whipped egg whites with hot sugar syrup until meringue-like. Works well on almost any type of cake.
Ingredients
1 cup white sugar
⅓ cup water
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Stir sugar, water, and cream of tartar together in a saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until sugar is dissolved and syrup is bubbly.
Beat egg whites and vanilla in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy. Gradually add hot syrup mixture, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form, about 7 to 10 minutes.
