Question

How do you make chocolate/vanilla cake frosting without butter or powdered sugar?

Answer 1

Seven Minute Frosting

Ingredients:

1 1/8 cups granulated sugar

3 large egg whites

1/4 cup water

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

1 pinch salt

3 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Directions:

1. In a large saucepan, bring 1 inch of water to a simmer. In a large stainless-steel bowl, combine the sugar, egg whites, 1/4 cup of water, the cream of tartar and the salt. Set the bowl over the simmering water and beat the egg whites with a whisk or handheld mixer until the frosting holds stiff peaks, about 5 minutes.

2. Remove the bowl and continue to beat until cooled and billowy, about 2 minutes more. Beat in the vanilla and frost the cake.
