How to Make 7 Minute Frosting
- In a clean, heatproof bowl, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Gradually whisk in the water until smooth.
- Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water (use a double boiler or heat-resistant stand if needed).
- Whisk constantly for 7 minutes, or until the frosting is thick, glossy, and holds stiff peaks. Do not stop whisking!
- Remove from heat and whisk in the butter, one tablespoon at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract and whisk until combined.
- Frost your devil's food cake immediately or let it cool slightly for easier spreading.
