Ingredients:
0.50 c Packed brown sugar
0.25 c Light corn syrup
2.00 tb Water
2.00 Egg whites
0.50 ts Vanilla
1.00 ts Powdered instant coffee Directions:
Mix sugar, corn syrup and water in 1-quart saucepan. Cover and heat to
rolling boil over medium heat. Uncover and cook, without stirring, to
242 degrees on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture
dropped into very cold water forms a ball that flattens when removed
from water. To get an accurate temperature reading it may be
necessary to tilt the saucepan slightly. It takes 4 to 8 minutes for
the syrup to reach 242 degrees.While mixture boils, beat egg whites
in medium bowl just until stiff peaks form. Pour hot syrup very
slowly in thin stream into egg whites, beating constantly on medium
speed. Add vanilla and instant coffee. Beat on high speed about 10
minutes until stiff peaks form. Preparing this type of frosting on a
humid day may require a longer beating time. Frosts a 13 X 9-inch
cake or fills and frosts two 8- or 9-inch cake layers. 16 SERVINGS; :
