Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons corn syrup
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 5 large egg whites room temperature

Instructions

  • Bring 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the sugar, the corn syrup, and the water to a boil, stirring constantly. Wash down sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush.
  • Stop stirring and cook the sugar syrup until it reaches 230 degrees.
  • While the sugar syrup is cooking, beat the egg whites with a mixer until you have soft peaks. Beat in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar.
  • Add the sugar syrup in a slow, steady stream down the side of the mixing bowl. Beat on high speed until thick, fluffy, and cooled, around 7 minutes.
  • Frost cake and store in the fridge.
