Description
A silky-smooth frosting that elevates any cake or cupcake to bakery-level perfection with its light, airy texture and rich vanilla flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 egg whites
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine the egg whites and sugar in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, whisk until it reaches 160°F and sugar dissolves.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly to prevent the butter from melting.
- Beat the egg white mixture on high speed until stiff peaks form and the bowl feels cool to the touch.
- Gradually add softened butter, mixing until smooth. Add vanilla extract and pinch of salt, mixing until creamy.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Let come to room temperature and mix to restore consistency before use.
