Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Put the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer .
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Bring the sugar mixture to a boil, stirring it only until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Boil the syrup rapidly, without stirring, until it reaches the soft-ball stage : A small amount of the syrup should form a soft ball when dropped in cold water or spin a long thread when dropped from the tip of a spoon (You can also use a cooking thermometer; it should read about 240 F.)
- Slowly pour the syrup in a fine stream over the egg whites while beating them constantly.
- Add the vanilla extract.
- Continue beating the mixture for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the frosting is cool and the right consistency to spread easily. If the frosting becomes too stiff for the beater, use a wooden spoon to mix.
- Use to frost your cake and enjoy.

CLASSIC TEXAS SHEET CAKE
If you love chocolate, and we mean really truly love, then this classic Texas sheet cake is exactly what your sweet tooth craves.

Unlike most cakes, this tender-crumbed delight should be frosted when it's still hot-no need to let it cool. Pour on the sticky, sweet pecan-flecked frosting and watch it spread into a gloriously glossy blanket that'll keep your cake moist and fresh tasting for as long as it lasts.
