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
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.

Raspberry Walnut Torte
A very dense, decadent cake that always gets raves from friends and family. You can substitute other nuts for the walnuts and different preserves if desired.
Tuna Ceviche
Fresh chunks of tuna, ripe mango, and creamy avocado combine to make the perfect appetizer or a tasty lunch. I love to eat this with lime-seasoned tortilla chips, but it's just as delicious served in lettuce cups. I try to keep the tuna, avocado and mango pieces between 1/4- and 1/2-inch in size. Best eaten same-day, but can be kept 1-2 days in fridge, keeping in mind that texture will change.
Spicy Corn on the Cob
This spicy corn on the cob is cooked on the grill with chili butter for a yummy side dish to any summer meal!
