1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 packages sweet’n’low
2 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Combine sugar, water, sweet’n’low, egg whites and cream of tartar in top of a double boiler and beat at high spped for 1 minute. Set over simmering water in the bottom of the double boiler. Continue to beat at high speed for 4-5 minutes or until soft peaks form. Remove from heat. Add vanilla to frosting and continue to beat at high speed 1-2 minutes or until thick enough to spread on a cooled cake. This is enough frosting for a 2-layer or 9 inch square cake.
