7-Minute Caramel Icing Recipe

  American Dessert

Ingredients:
2 large egg whites
1-1/2 cups brown sugar
1/4 cup plus 1 Tbs. cold water
2 Tbs. light corn syrup
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract

Directions:
Combine all ingredients, except vanilla and almond extract, in the top of a double boiler or bowl. Bring water in the bottom of the double boiler or saucepan (if using a bowl) to a simmer. Place top of the double boiler or the bowl over the simmering water. Immediately begin whipping mixture 3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed. Increase speed to high and beat another 3 minutes. Remove top of double boiler. Add vanilla and almond extract. Beat 1 minute on high speed until mixture holds stiff peaks and is satiny. Makes enough to fill and frost a double layer 8 or 9 inch cake.
