How to Make Dominican Meringue Cake Frosting Suspiro

  1. In a scrupulously clean, grease-free bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  2. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Don't stop the mixer!
  3. Add vanilla extract and beat for another minute to combine.
  4. Gently fold in the cornstarch if using for extra stability.
  5. Immediately frost your cooled cake. The meringue will set as it cools.
