Fluffy White Frosting

This recipe came with a Tres Lesche Cake recipe. It is fluffy, marshmallow-like, and really good. Would be outstanding on a chocolate cake.


4  egg whites
1/2  tsp  cream of tartar
1/2  cup  water
1  cup  light corn syrup
1-1/2  cup  sugar

Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar in a large bowl until they form stiff peaks. Set aside.

In a separate pan, mix the water, sugar, and corn syrup. Cook over a high heat, stirring constantly until a candy thermometer reads 230°. Remove from heat.

While beating the egg whites with an electric mixer, immediately pour the hot syrup into the egg whites; continue beating for about five minutes. Let frosting cool in refrigerator.

With a wet spatula, spread a thick layer of frosting on cake.
