Time 20m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 pinch salt
2 egg whites
1/4 cup cold water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Combine the sugar, cream of tartar, salt, egg whites, and water in a large mixing bowl or double boiler of at least a 2-quart capacity.
  • Set over simmering, not boiling, water over moderate heat.
  • Beat with a hand electric mixer at high speed for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the frosting stands in definite peaks when the beater is lifted.
  • Remove from the water and continue beating for several minutes, until the frosting has cooled and no longer feels hot to your finger, and stands in soft, smooth, billowy peaks.
  • Beat in the vanilla.
  • You will have enough to generously fill and frost an 8 or 9 inch two-layer cake or a 9 or 10 inch tube cake.
