Seven Minute Frosting

By Dianewaldron

Goes well with Devil's Food Cake.

Ingredients

• 4 egg whites
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Combine egg whites, sugar, water, cream of tartar, and salt in top of double boiler. Set over simmering water and beat with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes, until soft peaks are formed. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Keep beating until frosting is stiff enough to spread. Use immediately. This looks like a lot, but use it all; it is enough to fill and frost the cake.
