Fluffy Frosting Recipes

Steps:

• Combine sugar, water, cream of tartar and salt in saucepan.
• Bring to boiling, stirring until sugar dissolves.
• Very slowly add sugar syrup to unbeaten egg whites in mixing bowl, beating constantly with electric mixer until stiff peaks form (about 7 minutes).
• Beat in vanilla.
• Frosts tops and sides of two 8 or 9-inch layers, or one 10-inch tube or one 9x13 pan.

Steps:

• With an electric mixer, beat butter on medium-high speed until pale and creamy, about 2 minutes.
• Reduce speed to medium. Add the confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed; after every two additions, raise speed to high and beat 10 seconds to aerate frosting, then return to medium-high. This process should take about 5 minutes. Frosting will be very pale and fluffy.
• Add vanilla, and beat until frosting is smooth. If not using immediately, frosting can be refrigerated up to 10 days in an airtight container. Before using, bring to room temperature, and beat on low speed until smooth again, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in bowl. Beat at low speed to mix. Beat at high speed until smooth and fluffy, approximately 5-10 minutes. If too stiff, beat in a few drops of water.

Steps:

• Slowly beat the butter and sugar, in another medium bowl, with an electric mixer until incorporated. Raise the speed to high and mix until light and fluffy, about 5 to 7 minutes. (Occasionally turn the mixer off, and scrape the sides of the bowl down with a rubber spatula.) Add the fluff and salt and reduce the speed to low. Add the milk and vanilla mixture, scrape the bowl down, and mix until fully incorporated. Raise the mixer to high and beat briefly until fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Use immediately.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, stir together the sugar, water and cream of tartar. Cook over medium-high heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is bubbly.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whip the egg whites and vanilla to soft peaks. Gradually add the sugar mixture while whipping constantly until stiff peaks form, about 7 to 10 minutes. Frost the cake of your choice.

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan combine sugar, water and cream of tartar. Slowly bring mixture to a boil, stirring sides of the saucepan with a brush dipped in water to remove any sugar crystals. Cover and boil for about 3 minutes or until a candy thermometer registers 245 degrees.
• Beat egg whites with pinch of salt until glossy and peaked. Slowly pour in syrup as you continue to beat the whites. Beat until cool and frosting is soft and fluffy. Fold in vanilla.

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, water and cream of tartar in a saucepan. Cook the mixture over medium-high heat until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture starts to bubble.
• Whip the egg whites and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Slowly drizzle the hot sugar syrup mixture into the egg whites while whipping constantly at medium-high speed until stiff peaks form and frosting is very glossy, around 8-10 minutes.

Steps:

• In a standing mixer fitted with a whisk, mix together sugar and butter. Mix on low speed until well blended and then increase speed to medium and beat for another 3 minutes.
• Add vanilla and cream and continue to beat on medium speed for 1 minute more, adding more cream if needed for spreading consistency.

Steps:

• Place sugar, corn syrup and boiling water in a 3 qt saucepan over moderate heat.
• Stir until sugar dissolves.
• When mixture comes to a full boil, remove from heat and set aside briefly Beat egg whites with salt to stiff peaks.
• Transfer hot syrup to a pitcher for easy pouring.
• Beating at high speed, pour hot syrup in a thin threadlike stream into the whites.
• Pour slowly and scrape down sides if necessary to keep the entire mass well mixed.
• After all of the syrup has been beaten in, add vanilla and almond extract.
• Continue beating for 10-15 minutes on high until icing is very stiff.

Steps:

• Beat cream cheese in medium bowl with wire whisk until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until well blended after each addition. Blend in milk and almond extract.

• Remove from heat; beat in vanilla.
• Spread on cooled 2 layer cake.

Steps:

• Beat milk, whipped topping mix and pudding mix in deep narrow-bottom bowl with mixer on low speed until blended.
• Beat on high 4 to 6 min. or until mixture forms soft peaks.

Steps:

• In a heatproof bowl of a stand mixer, whisk egg whites, sugar, water and cream of tartar until blended. Place over simmering water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisking constantly, heat mixture until a thermometer reads 160°, 3-5 minutes., Remove from heat; add vanilla. With the whisk attachment of a stand mixer, beat on high speed until stiff glossy peaks form, about 7 minutes. Use immediately. Store frosted cake, uncovered, in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Beat cream cheese and marshmallow creme in large bowl with mixer until blended.
• Add COOL WHIP; beat on low speed just until blended.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the white sugar, egg white, vanilla, cream of tartar, and boiling water. Beat using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. If you have a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment.

Steps:

• Beat pudding mix, sugar and milk in large bowl with whisk 2 min.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 8-inch round cake pans and line with parchment; butter parchment and dust pans with cocoa.
• Whisk boiling water into cocoa until smooth; whisk in sour cream. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
• In a large bowl, using a mixer, beat butter and 2 1/4 cups sugar on medium-high until fluffy and pale yellow. Beat in whole eggs, one at a time, until incorporated. With mixer on low, add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with 2 additions cocoa mixture, and beat until combined. Fold in 4 teaspoons vanilla.
• Divide batter among pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes, rotating pans halfway through. Transfer pans to wire racks and let cool completely. Remove cakes from pans and discard parchment. Trim cakes if desired.
• In a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pan of simmering water, whisk together remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar, egg whites, and corn syrup until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat; using mixer, beat on high until stiff, fluffy peaks form, about 5 minutes. Fold in remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla.
• Transfer a cake layer to a serving plate and top with 1 cup frosting. Stack second cake on top and cover top and sides with remaining frosting.

Steps:

• Combine sugar, water, egg whites, salt, corn syrup, and vanilla in the top of a double boiler. Beat all ingredients about one minute before placing bowl or pan over the heat.
• Place over rapidly boiling water; beat at high speed until the mixture forms soft peaks. (This may take longer than 7 minutes).
• Transfer frosting mixture to large bowl; beat until the mixture is thick and cool enough to spread.
