Description

This vintage-style frosting is made with egg whites, sugar, and a touch of vanilla, whipped to perfection for a glossy, marshmallow-like texture.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 large egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Set Up a Double Boiler:
    • Bring a small pot of water to a simmer. In a heatproof bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), combine the egg whites, sugar, water, cream of tartar, and salt.
  2. Whisk Over Heat:
    • Place the bowl over the simmering water, ensuring the bottom doesn’t touch the water. Using a handheld mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture on medium speed for 4-5 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes warm to the touch (about 160°F/70°C).
  3. Whip Until Fluffy:
    • Remove the bowl from the heat. Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, beat the mixture on high speed for 5-7 minutes, or until stiff peaks form and the frosting becomes glossy and holds its shape.
  4. Add Vanilla:
    • Beat in the vanilla extract until just combined.
  5. Frost Immediately:
    • Use the frosting right away to frost cakes or cupcakes, as it will firm up as it cools.

Notes

  • For a fun variation, add a few drops of food coloring or 1/4 tsp almond or peppermint extract.
  • This frosting is best used the day it’s made. If stored, cover tightly and use within 24 hours.
  • Works wonderfully as a topping for angel food cake, chocolate cake, or layered desserts.
