Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar or 1 tablespoon white corn syrup
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Directions

Place sugar, cream of tartar or corn syrup, salt, water, and egg whites in the top of a double boiler. Beat with a handheld electric mixer for 1 minute. Place pan over boiling water, being sure that boiling water does not touch the bottom of the top pan. (If this happens, it could cause your frosting to become grainy). Beat constantly on high speed with electric mixer for 7 minutes. Beat in vanilla.

    I am having some trouble, it don't seem like it is thick enough, it is kinda running. Will it thicken as it cools?

    I have been stumped as to what to use for a double boiler because I like to double the recipe to frost a 6 layer cake. I have ended up getting frosting all over the place in the past! The video helped me to see that Paula used a large glass bowl over the boiler. Love the coconut cake recipe! Made for my mother's birthday last year and she raved about it all year so will make it again next week for her 88th birthday! Thanks, Paula.
