How to Make Toasted Almond Frosting
- Combine 3 large egg whites, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¼ cup water, 1 teaspoon almond extract, and ¼ cup light corn syrup in the bowl of a standing mixer (or a large heatproof bowl). Place the bowl over a medium saucepan filled with 1 inch of barely simmering water.
- Cook, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture reaches 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer (5-10 minutes).
- Carefully remove the bowl from the saucepan and transfer the mixture to the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
- Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes.
- Increase the speed to medium-high and continue to beat until the mixture has cooled to room temperature and stiff, glossy peaks form (another 5-7 minutes).
- Remove the bowl from the mixer. Gently fold in ½ cup toasted sliced almonds using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to deflate the frosting.
- Frost your cake and enjoy!
