Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large egg whites, at room temperature for 30 minutes
Scant 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons maple sugar
2/3 cup pure maple syrup (preferably Grade A dark amber)
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces and softened
Special equipment: a candy thermometer

Steps:

  • Beat egg whites with cream of tartar and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until they just hold soft peaks. Add maple sugar 1 teaspoon at a time, beating, and continue to beat until whites just hold stiff peaks.
  • Boil syrup in a small heavy saucepan over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it reaches soft-ball stage (registering 238 to 242°F on thermometer), about 3 to 7 minutes. Immediately remove from heat and slowly pour hot syrup in a slow stream down side of bowl into egg whites, beating constantly at high speed. Beat meringue, scraping down side of bowl occasionally with a rubber spatula, until meringue is cool to the touch, about 6 minutes. (It's important that meringue be fully cooled before proceeding.)
  • With mixer at medium speed, add butter 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. (If buttercream looks soupy after some butter is added, meringue is too warm: Chill bottom of bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water for a few seconds before continuing to beat in remaining butter.) Continue beating until buttercream is smooth. (Mixture may look curdled before all butter is added but will come together before beating is finished.)

This frosting is amazing! It's the perfect balance of sweet and maple-y. I used it to frost a vanilla cake and it was a huge hit.

This frosting is delicious, but it's a bit too rich for me. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my frosting turned out a little too runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This frosting is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I think it would be perfect for a chocolate cake or a carrot cake.

I love the subtle maple flavor in this frosting. It's not too sweet, and it pairs perfectly with a variety of cakes. I've used it on vanilla, chocolate, and red velvet cakes, and it's always a hit.
