SEVEN-MINUTE FROSTING

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield about 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk the egg whites, sugar, water, corn syrup, vanilla, cream of tartar and salt in a large heatproof glass bowl. Set the bowl on top of the pan (do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water). Beat with a hand mixer on low speed until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. (If any sugar crystals form on the side of the bowl, brush them down with a wet pastry brush.) Increase the speed to medium high and beat until stiff glossy peaks form, about 7 minutes.
  • Remove the bowl from the pan and beat until the frosting cools slightly, about 30 seconds. Use while still slightly warm -- the frosting will firm up and form a hard shell when it cools. Do not refrigerate the frosted cake or the frosting may weep.

4 large egg whites, room temperature

Gradually add remaining tablespoon sugar, and beat until peaks are fluffy but still soft. Slowly pour in hot sugar syrup down side of bowl.

PERFECT SEVEN-MINUTE FROSTING

This cake frosting is named for the length of time it must be beaten in the final stage.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 3

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
3 large egg whites, room temperature

Steps:

  • In a small, heavy-bottom saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sugar, corn syrup, and 4 tablespoons water. Place over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved, about 4 minutes. Rub a bit of the mixture between your fingers, making sure any graininess has disappeared. Raise heat, and bring to a boil without stirring. Continue boiling, occasionally washing down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water to prevent sugar from crystallizing, until a candy thermometer registers 230 degrees, about 5 minutes. (Depending on the humidity, this can take anywhere from 4 to 10 minutes.) Remove the syrup from heat (temperature will keep rising).
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2 1/2 minutes. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. With mixer on medium-low speed, pour syrup in a steady stream down side of bowl (to avoid splattering).
  • Beat the frosting on high speed until cool, about seven minutes. It should be thick and shiny. Use immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a microwave-safe bowl that is large enough to accommodate the volume of the ingredients as they expand during microwaving.
  • For a creamier frosting, use unsalted butter that has been softened to room temperature. If you only have cold butter, you can soften it quickly by placing it in the microwave for a few seconds at a time, checking it often to prevent it from melting.
  • For a stiffer frosting, use less milk. You can also add more powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
  • If you want a flavored frosting, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract, almond extract, or your favorite flavoring. You can also add a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolate frosting.
  • Frosting can be used to decorate cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other desserts. It can also be used as a filling for pies and pastries.

Conclusion:

With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes in the microwave, you can have a delicious and fluffy frosting that is perfect for any occasion.
