Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes enough for 2 dozen cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 large egg whites
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar in the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer. Set over a saucepan with simmering water. Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved and whites are warm to the touch, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Transfer bowl to electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat, starting on low speed, gradually increasing to high, until stiff, glossy peaks form, 5 to 7 minutes. Add vanilla, and mix until combined. Use immediately.

Tips:

  • For a moist and fluffy cake, use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour. Cake flour has a lower protein content, which results in a more tender crumb.
  • Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients to combine more evenly and will result in a smoother batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake to rise evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For a smooth and creamy frosting, use a stand mixer or hand mixer to beat the frosting until it is light and fluffy.
  • If you are using a store-bought frosting, be sure to let it come to room temperature before using it. This will make it easier to spread.
  • Decorate the cake with your favorite toppings, such as sprinkles, candy, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

This simple birthday cake with marshmallow frosting is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and fluffy, and the frosting is light and creamy. With a few simple tips, you can make a beautiful and delicious cake that everyone will love.
