Fluffy Frosting

Notes:   This recipe is paired with the Lemon Filling

Once when Mom and Dad and some others were at our house we ate the whole cake while watching the summer Olympics.  This is one of Mom and Dad's….and mine, favorite cakes.  Sometimes I put Peeps around the edge.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup water
2 whole egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions:

1. In top of double boiler, combine sugar, cream of tartar, salt, water, and the egg whites.  Place over boiling water in a double boiler and beat about 7 minutes until frosting holds stiff peaks. Mix in vanilla.

2. This and the lemon filling are wonderful with a white cake.
