My mother used to make this seven-minute frosting without cream of tartar as a base before making her marshmallow frosting on some of her cakes. This makes enough to fill and frost an 8- or 9-inch cake with two layers.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups white sugar
  • 0.33 cups cold water
  • 2 eggs whites
  • 1.5 teaspoons light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 1

    Beat sugar, water, egg whites, and corn syrup in the top of a double boiler over rapidly boiling water with an electric mixer until well combined. Continue to beat while it cooks until frosting stands in peaks when the beater is raised, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and mix in vanilla.
