Description

Transform your desserts with the ethereal sweetness of 7-Minute Frosting! This classic recipe creates a light and fluffy cloud of sugary perfection. Discover how to whip up this timeless delight in just minutes. Perfect for cakes, cupcakes, and sweet treats.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 6 large egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Double Boiler: Begin by setting up a double boiler. Fill the bottom pot with an inch or two of water, making sure the water doesn’t touch the top pot. Bring the water to a simmer.

  2. Combine Ingredients: In the top pot of the double boiler, combine sugar, water, corn syrup, egg whites, and cream of tartar.

  3. Beat Over Simmering Water: Place the top pot over the simmering water and beat the mixture with a handheld electric mixer on medium speed. Ensure that the beaters reach the bottom of the pot to prevent the egg whites from cooking.

  4. Continue Beating: Continue beating for approximately 7 minutes or until stiff peaks form. The mixture should be glossy and smooth.

  5. Add Vanilla: In the final moments of beating, add the vanilla extract and beat for an additional 30 seconds to incorporate.

  6. Remove from Heat: Once the frosting is ready, remove the pot from the heat.

  7. Cool and Frost: Allow the frosting to cool slightly, then use it to frost your cake or cupcakes immediately. The frosting sets quickly, so works efficiently.
