FLUFFY WHITE FROSTING ( A SEVEN MINUTE FROSTING RECIPE)



Fluffy White Frosting ( A Seven Minute Frosting Recipe) image

This light and billowy frosting has a wonderful marshmallow flavor. Perfect for frosting cakes and cupcakes!

Provided by Melissa Diamond

Number Of Ingredients 5

2/3 cup (150g) water
2cup (400g) sugar
1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar or 1 Tablespoon white corn syrup
4 egg whites
2 teaspoon (8g) vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make sure the mixing bowl and beaters are clean without a trace of grease. Any grease will keep the egg whites from increasing to full volume. You will be using only the egg whites and if a yolk happens to break and gets mixed in, the recipe will NOT work. Place the egg whites into the bowl of your mixer and add the vanilla. Set aside until time to beat the whites. In a saucepan, add the water, sugar, cream of tartar (or white corn syrup). Cook on medium/high heat. Do not stir, or stir just enough to distribute the sugar. You don't want sugar crystals sticking to the sides of the pan. The mixture will begin to boil and become clear. After it boils for a minute or so, remove from the heat, you will be able to see that the sugar has dissolved. Beat the egg whites and vanilla to the soft peak stage. This happens rather quickly. At soft peak stage, the egg whites will not form peaks but will just fall over, cloud like. At this time, with the mixer beating on low speed slowly pour in a small stream of the hot sugar syrup into the egg whites. Avoid hitting the beaters as you pour because the hot syrup could splash onto you. Increase the mixer to high speed and beat approximately 7 minutes ( it could be longer if using a hand mixer) until stiff peaks form (stiff peaks stand straight up). The frosting should be used right away as it set up rather quickly. The frosting does not become hard but does form a slight crust. The cake can be kept at room temperature or refrigerated. Leftover frosting can be stored in the refrigerator and remixed, it will still taste good but will be softer and will not hold a stiff peak. Makes 5 cups frosting Recipe can be doubled

PERFECT SEVEN-MINUTE FROSTING



Perfect Seven-Minute Frosting image

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.

FLUFFY WHITE FROSTING



Fluffy White Frosting image

This frosting got its name because its large white peaks hold up long after it's beaten. It's sometimes called White Mountain Frosting. (Easy)

Provided by Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla

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.

Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In large metal bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup water, sugar, egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt. Set bowl over pan of barely simmering water and mix with handheld electric mixer at low speed. Gradually increase speed to high, beating until mixture holds stiff peaks, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer bowl from pan to folded kitchen towel on counter and continue beating until mixture is cool and billowy, about 2 minutes more. Beat in vanilla. (Frosting can be made 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered.)

Tips for Making the Perfect 7-Minute Frosting

- Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before beginning. This will help the frosting come together smoothly and prevent it from curdling. - Use a metal bowl and whisk attachment. This will help the frosting whip up quickly and smoothly. - Gradually add the boiling water to the sugar mixture. This will help prevent the sugar from crystallizing and the frosting from becoming grainy. - Whisk constantly for 7 minutes, or until the frosting is thick and fluffy. Don't be tempted to stop whisking before the 7 minutes is up, or the frosting will not be as light and airy. - Add flavorings and colorings, if desired. Once the frosting is whipped, you can add flavorings such as vanilla or almond extract, or colorings such as food gel or paste. - Use the frosting immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring the frosting to room temperature before using it again.

Conclusion

The perfect 7-minute frosting is light, fluffy, and flavorful. It's easy to make and can be used to frost cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. With these tips, you can make the perfect 7-minute frosting every time.
