How to Make Fluffy White Frosting
- In the top of a double boiler (or a heat-safe bowl set over a simmering pot of water; make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water), combine 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 3 large egg whites at room temperature, ⅓ cup light corn syrup, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, and ⅓ cup water.
- Place the double boiler over simmering water, ensuring the water doesn't boil vigorously.
- Beat on high speed with a handheld electric mixer until the mixture forms soft peaks, about 2 minutes. The mixture will increase in volume and become glossy.
- Remove from heat and immediately beat in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
- Continue beating for 5 minutes, or until stiff, glossy peaks form. The frosting will be thick and hold its shape.
- Spread the frosting onto your cooled cake immediately for best results.
- This recipe makes enough frosting to generously frost a 2-3 layer cake.
