Honey And Egg White Topping Or Frosting Recipes

7-MINUTE FLUFFY WHITE FROSTING

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine the egg whites, sugar, water, corn syrup, and salt in the top bowl of a double boiler. Add water to the bottom pot and bring to a simmer.
• Beat the mixture off of the heat with an electric hand mixer for a minute. Place the pan over the boiling water (make sure the bottom of the pan is not touching the boiling water).
• Continue beating for about 6 minutes, or until the frosting mixture is white, fluffy, and will stand in stiff peaks .
• Remove from the heat and beat in the vanilla. Use immediately to frost a two-layer cake or cupcakes.

MERINGUE FROSTING FOR RASPBERRY WHITE CAKE

Steps:

• Bring 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, the corn syrup, and 3 tablespoons water to a boil, stirring. Wash down side of pan with a wet pastry brush, and cook sugar syrup, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 230 degrees.
• Meanwhile, beat egg whites with a mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
• Add sugar syrup in a slow, steady stream down side of bowl. Beat on high speed until thick, fluffy, and cool, about 7 minutes.

ROYAL ICING WITH EGG WHITES

Steps:

• Place egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat using the whisk attachment until frothy. Add 1/4 cup of the sugar and mix well. Gradually add the remaining 3 3/4 cups sugar, beating on low speed and scraping down the sides.
• Increase the speed to high and continue to beat the mixture until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes. At this stage, the icing will be very thick. Add water, a few drops at a time, to thin it to the consistency appropriate for the kind of decorating you are doing. As a rule, the icing should be stiffer for lettering, more malleable for making petals -- but you will need to experiment to find the consistency that works best for you. Store icing at room temperature in an airtight glass or metal container. It should be used within two days.

HONEY CAKE WITH HONEY CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees with rack in center. Butter an 8-by-8-by-2-inch baking pan. Lightly dust with flour, tapping out excess. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and nutmeg, and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla, and set aside.
• In bowl of electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter on medium-high until light and fluffy, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary, about 3 minutes. Add sugar and honey; beat mixture until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Add egg mixture a few tablespoons at a time, beating well for 2 to 3 minutes after each addition. Raise speed to high, and beat, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary, until very thick and light in color, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add flour mixture in 3 batches, beating just to combine after each addition. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack for 5 minutes. Turn cake out of pan and place on the wire rack, right side up, to cool completely.
• Transfer cake to serving platter. Using an offset spatula, spread the frosting evenly over the top of the cake.
