Italian Meringue Buttercream Frosting Recipe

Italian Meringue Buttercream Frosting

From zena824 14 years ago

This will frost the 24 sweet cakes recipe I posted... This can be used on any cake....Try it...

In medium saucepan, heat sugar and water until sugar dissolves and mixture boils.
Boil until candy thermometer registers 243 degrees.
In small mixing bowl, using electric mixter, beat egg whites to form soft peaks.
With mixer running, very slowly beat in hot syrup.
Continue beating until meringue is completely cool and forms soft peaks.
In separate bowl, cream butter, shortening, lemon juice and vanilla until soft and light.
Add meringue slowly to butter mixture, blending well.
Frost sweet cakes after they have cooled.

This sounds so good, along with your little sweet cakes...I've never had much luck with any recipe involving a candy thermometer, but just might have to try this one! Thanks, Zena, for a great post! ^5
