This seven-minute frosting is one of our tried-and-true favorites: You can't go wrong.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups sugar

  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup

  • 6 large egg whites

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

  1. In the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer set over a saucepan of simmering water, combine sugar, corn syrup, 1/4 cup water, and egg whites. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 2 minutes.

  2. Attach bowl to a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat mixture on high speed until glossy and voluminous, about 5 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Use immediately.
