7-Minute Frosting

water

eggs

¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

salt

Make a double boiler by choosing a heat-safe metal or glass mixing bowl that can sit on top of a saucepan. Place 2 inches of water in the bottom of the saucepan. The bottom of the bowl should not touch the water. Bring the water in the saucepan to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium or medium-low and leave it at a simmer.

Add the sugar, water, egg whites, cream of tartar and salt to the mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture for 30 seconds on low speed until combined.

Place the mixing bowl over the simmering water and cook while mixing with the electric mixer on high speed for 7 minutes or until the frosting forms stiff peaks.

Remove the bowl from the heat and mix in the vanilla. Mix for another 2-3 minutes until the consistency is spreadable.

Working somewhat quickly, frost the top and sides of 1 angel food cake, or two 8 or 9-inch layer cakes. The frosting will set as it cools. Enjoy!
