FLUFFY WHITE FROSTING

This frosting got its name because its large white peaks hold up long after it's beaten. It's sometimes called White Mountain Frosting. (Easy)

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Let egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Room temperature egg whites will have more volume when beaten than cold egg whites. In medium bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on high speed just until stiff peaks form.
  • In 1-quart saucepan, stir sugar, corn syrup and water until well mixed. Cover and heat to rolling boil over medium heat. Uncover and boil 4 to 8 minutes, without stirring, to 242°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water forms a firm ball that holds its shape until pressed (see Testing Candy Temperature, page 00). For an accurate temperature reading, tilt the saucepan slightly so mixture is deep enough for thermometer.
  • Pour hot syrup very slowly in thin stream into egg whites, beating constantly on medium speed. Add vanilla. Beat on high speed about 10 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
  • Frost 13x9-inch cake, or fill and frost 8- or 9-inch two-layer cake. Leftover frosting can be tightly covered and refrigerated up to 2 days; do not freeze. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature to soften; do not stir.

FLUFFY WHITE FROSTING



Fluffy White Frosting image

This is a favorite of my family's (especially my 16 year old--the only frosting she will ever make). It is in response to a request on the boards. If you are planning to use this on a chocolate cake, clear vanilla will produce a stark white frosting that contrasts beautifully with the chocolate. This is a light, fluffy frosting and doesn't over-power the flavor of any cake that you choose to top with it. My daughters also like to spread it on graham crackers for 'graham cracker sandwiches'.

FLUFFY WHITE CUPCAKES WITH CREAMY CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Fluffy White Cupcakes With Creamy Cream Cheese Frosting image

Add in a little food coloring to the frosting and cake mix to create pastel shades if desired --- if you mix the cake batter by hand with a wooden spoon you will get a lesser amount of cupcakes, an electric mixer adds in more air while mixing you will get about 22-24 cupcakes --- for coconut cupcakes add in 1-2 teaspoons coconut extract (instead of the vanilla and almond extract) into the cake mix and frosting then sprinkle with soft flaked coconut on top of frosting.

WHITE AND FLUFFY BOILED FROSTING RECIPE



White and Fluffy Boiled Frosting Recipe image

A pretty white frosting that is so light and fluffy it just melts in your mouth. It's color, texture, and almond flavor goes perfect with any chocolate cake.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tarter
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
4 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Remove the eggs from the refrigerator and allow them to set until room temperature. In a small heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, cream of tartar, and salt. Stir to combine evenly. Add the water. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuely until it is clear. Allow the mixture to boil until it reaches the soft ball stage or 240°F on a candy thermometer. Remove from the heat and allow it to set while beating the egg whites. Beat the egg whites in a large, wide bowl until they form soft peaks. Be sure to use a wide bowl so that you have enough room to be beating the frosting while you are pouring in the sugar mixture. Once the eggs are at a soft peak, begin to slowly pour the sugar mixture into the egg whites while beating the two together. Make sure to pour the sugar mixture in a slow steady stream off to one side and continue to beat the frosting the entire time. Do not pour the sugar mixture into the beaters. Move the beaters back and forth into the area where the sugar mixture has been added to incorporate it into the egg whites. Once all of the sugar mixture has been added, pour in the almond extract. Beat until the frosting is thick enough to form stiff peaks. Frost the cake as desired. This frosting is perfect for a peak or swirled design. Refrigerating a cake with this frosting will help keep the frosting soft and fluffy. Cover the cake with a domed cake server or a large container that is deep and wide enough so it does not disturb the frosting.
