White Cake {Coconut Frosting} - i am baker


IMG_7552.stamp



1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup water
3 large egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp coconut extract
(I did not have enough frosting to cover the outside of my cake and had to improvise, but I also added another entire cake to the interior, so I believe if you are making the white cake alone
you will not have the same problem.)
Directions:
In a double broiler (or a stove top safe glass bowl over the top of a pot of boiling water) combine sugar, water, egg whites, and cream of tartar with electric mixer and whisk attachment until combined, about 30 seconds.   Place bowl on top of pan of boiling water (water should only be about 1-2 inches deep) and beat with electric whisk attachment for seven minutes until soft peaks occur.  Remove from heat and add coconut extract.  Beat for 2 to 3 minutes or more until frosting is spreading consistency.
Since I was covering this cake in coconut, I used a majority of the frosting on the internal structure, alternating between each layer of white and chocolate.  The addition of this type of frosting to the interior left this cake beyond moist.
