Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 pieces Large egg whites
- 0.25 teaspoons Cream of tartar
- 0.25 cups Water
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Set up a double boiler: Fill a medium saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Place a heatproof mixing bowl that fits snugly over the saucepan without touching the water.
Step 2
In the heatproof bowl, combine the granulated sugar, egg whites, cream of tartar, and water. Whisk the mixture lightly to combine.
Step 3
Place the bowl over the saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Step 4
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium speed.
Step 5
Continue beating the mixture for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until stiff and glossy peaks form. The frosting should triple in volume and hold its shape well.
Step 6
Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Beat for another 1 minute to fully incorporate the vanilla and slightly cool the frosting.
Step 7
Use immediately to frost cakes or cupcakes. This frosting is best used on the same day it’s made.
