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.

Steps:
- Let egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Room temperature egg whites will have more volume when beaten than cold egg whites. In medium bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on high speed just until stiff peaks form.
- In 1-quart saucepan, stir sugar, corn syrup and water until well mixed. Cover and heat to rolling boil over medium heat. Uncover and boil 4 to 8 minutes, without stirring, to 242°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water forms a firm ball that holds its shape until pressed (see Testing Candy Temperature, page 00). For an accurate temperature reading, tilt the saucepan slightly so mixture is deep enough for thermometer.
- Pour hot syrup very slowly in thin stream into egg whites, beating constantly on medium speed. Add vanilla. Beat on high speed about 10 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
- Frost 13x9-inch cake, or fill and frost 8- or 9-inch two-layer cake. Leftover frosting can be tightly covered and refrigerated up to 2 days; do not freeze. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature to soften; do not stir.

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.
CHOCOLATE BLISS CAKE WITH FLUFFY 7-MINUTE FROSTING RECIPE - (4.4/5)
Provided by Foodiewife
Number Of Ingredients 19
Steps:
- Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line muffin tins with cupcake liners ( prepared baking pans--I used three 9-inch cake pans). Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, & salt in a large bowl or in bowl of stand mixer. Add eggs, coffee, buttermilk, oil, & vanilla. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. (Batter will be thin.) Scoop about 1/4 cup batter into each cupcake liner, or into a baking sheet, or cake pans. Bake for 20 minutes (for cupcakes) or 27 minutes (approximately) for a baking pan at 350°F or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely and frost. Frosting: Place the 2 egg whites in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer. Beat until the egg whites are foamy and thick; they should mound in the bowl, without holding a peak. Set them aside while you prepare the sugar syrup. Sugar syrup: Combine the sugar, cream of tartar, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently; the sugar should be dissolved. If the sugar hasn't dissolved, cook and stir a bit more, until it has. Begin to beat the egg whites, and immediately pour the boiling sugar syrup into the egg whites in a slow stream, beating all the while. As you beat, the mixture will thicken. (This took about 5 minutes). Once all the syrup is added, stir in the vanilla, and continue to beat till the frosting is thick and will hold a peak. Spoon the hot frosting atop the cooled cupcakes, (or sheet or layer cake) swirling it decoratively. Decorate while warm with sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, sparkling sugar, or the decorations of your choice, if desired.
Tips:
- Use a microwave-safe bowl: The frosting will be heated in the microwave, so make sure you use a bowl that is microwave-safe.
- Don't overcook the frosting: The frosting will only take about 7 minutes to cook in the microwave. If you overcook it, it will become too thick and difficult to spread.
- Let the frosting cool slightly before frosting your cake: The frosting will be very hot when it comes out of the microwave. Let it cool for a few minutes before frosting your cake, or you could melt the frosting.
- Use the frosting within 24 hours: The frosting is best used within 24 hours of making it. After that, it will start to lose its flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
This 7-minute frosting recipe is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and creamy frosting for your cakes and cupcakes. It's perfect for those times when you don't have a lot of time to bake, or when you just want a simple and classic frosting. With just a few ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can have a delicious frosting that will make your baked goods look and taste amazing.
