This was on the same page with the caramel icing that I got from my HS home economics teacher. Just thought that others might like this recipe, too. This should be enough to frost a pan of brownies or one layer of cake -- if you need more just double the recipe -- or 1/2 again more, for a little less more!! LOL Enjoy!

  • 1. Bring cocoa, sugar, milk, and butter slowly to a boil -- stirring constantly -- boil for 2 or 3 minutes
  • 2. Remove from heat and cool slightly

  • 4. If you desire to make white icing just leave out the cocoa

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
dash salt
4 egg whites
2 tsp. vanilla

Steps:

  • Mix sugar, water and salt in heavy saucepan. Boil mixture in covered pan without stirring until it spins a thread. Beat egg whites until stiff. Pour syrup into whites very slowly while beating constantly. Add vanilla. Continue beating until mixture is fluffy and holds its shape. This is enough icing for a two layer cake (including between layers).
