How to Make Fluffy Frosting

  1. In a medium saucepan, pour 1 cup (200g) of light corn syrup and bring to a rolling boil over medium heat.
  2. Meanwhile, in a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  3. With the mixer running on high speed, slowly pour the hot corn syrup into the egg whites in a thin, steady stream. Be careful not to splash.
  4. Continue beating on high speed until the frosting is thick, glossy, and holds stiff, shiny peaks (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Beat in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  6. For a smaller batch (suitable for a single-layer cake), halve the recipe.
  7. Once your cake is frosted, refrigerate until serving to maintain its fluffy texture.
