This recipe is a fond favorite from my chilhood. I don't think that my mother ever used a different frosting on our birthday cakes. The recipe is from my mother's personal hand-made recipe book. The prep and cook times here, I have estimated.
Ingredients:
2 egg whites (unbeaten)
1 1/2 cups sugar
5 tablespoons cold water
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients except vanilla in upper part of a double boiler, beating constantly with an egg beater until frosting stands in peaks.
2. Remove from heat.
3. Add vanilla.
4. Beat until frosting will spread easily on a 2 layer 8 inch cake.
