I just made a Betty Crocker Devils Food cake mix, according to the directions for the Bundt cake and then iced it with this amazing Marshmallow frosting recipe I found on Pinterest:
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 Cup ordinary sugar (white or brown)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
Place all ingredients except the vanilla essence into a bowl which you can place over a pot of simmering water.
{You could use a double boiler here instead}
Whisk the egg white mixture constantly over simmering water until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot to the touch. {It takes around 5 minutes}.
Pour the mixture into a bigger bowl, take off the heat, and beat with an electric mixer for 8 minutes. {Add the vanilla while beating}. After 5 minutes, the mixture will be lovely and fluffy. Once it looks like you can frost something without it dripping? Its done.
I love using disposable piping bags – {or you could even use a plastic bag, which is what I did} without a nozzle, I simply piped straight out the end of the piping bag directly onto the cake.
Hope you try this recipe. It sounds like a bit of work, but really it takes very little time and effort and they are so easy to pipe as the icing is very soft and much easier to squirt out than buttercream.
