When I was 13 years old, I learned how to bake a cake. This was the first icing I learned how to make. I enjoyed baking cakes so much that I kept our family supplied with cake. I experienced a real growth spurt that summer. It was not up, it was out.

Yield: This recipe will ice a 2 layer cake

Source: Its an old recipe I have had since the 50's.

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
2 unbeaten egg whites
3 Tbsp water
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

Put all ingredients into top section of a double boiler.
When water in lower section reaches boiling point, place top section into lower section and beat with electric beater approximately 7 minutes or until icing forms a peak.
Remove pan from double boiler and frost your cake.
