Recipe Instructions

Combine the egg whites, sugar, salt, cream of tartar, and 2/3 cup water in the top pan of a double boiler. Beat with an electric beater over simmering water until soft peaks form, about 7 minutes. Remove from the water and beat in the vanilla. Continue beating until the frosting is stiff. Put aside half of the frosting.

This recipe yields enough for one 9-inch cake.
