Perfect for a quick dessert or a last-minute icing for a cake. The lemon flavor is light and refreshing, and it pairs well with almost any cake or cupcake.

ingredients
2 large egg whites
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cold water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
directions
Combine the egg whites, sugar, cold water, lemon juice, and corn syrup in the top of a double boiler. Bring the water in the bottom of the double boiler to a simmer (not a boil). Beat the egg white mixture with an electric mixer for 3 minutes on medium speed.
Increase the mixer speed to high speed and beat for 3 additional minutes. Remove the top of the double boiler from the pan and set on a heat-proof surface (such as a hot pad or trivet or cutting board).
Add the vanilla and lemon zest to the icing mixture and beat on high speed for 1 minute or until the icing holds stiff peaks and has a slightly shiny finish.
Use the 7-minute icing immediately.
One batch will frost and fill a 2-layer 8 or 9-inch cake.

The recipe instructions say to add the zest and vanilla extract together, however, there is no vanilla mentioned in the ingredients list. I used about 1 1/2 tsp, worked fine.
Vanilla is listed in the ingredient list just before the lemon zest.
