Old-Fashioned Snow Peak Frosting
Anne
"Pillowy, fluffy, light frosting that goes well with any cake and holds its shape on cupcakes! Simple ingredients. Old-fashioned is always best; tried and true! Add food coloring for more festive frosting."

Ready In
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, blend egg whites and salt together in a bowl on medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Meanwhile, bring corn syrup to a boil in a saucepan; add marshmallows and stir until melted.
- Raise mixer speed to high. Very carefully, pour the hot syrup in a steady stream between the side of the mixing bowl and the moving beater. Beat until mixture is cool enough to touch; mix in vanilla extract. Makes enough to frost a 9x13-inch cake or an 8-inch layer cake.
Footnotes
- Editor's Note:
- This recipe contains raw egg. It uses the technique of an Italian meringue, however; the hot sugar syrup should raise the temperature of the mixture enough to pasteurize the egg whites. If you are concerned, you may use pasteurized egg whites instead.
