Delicious recipes for red velvet cakes, cupcakes, and cheesecakes.

A whipped frosting made with egg whites and brown sugar that holds peaks well. This frosting's unique texture makes it an excellent choice for decorating cakes.

2 egg whites
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
5 tablespoons water
1 dash salt
Combine egg whites, brown sugar, water and salt in top of double boiler. Beat slightly to mix.
Place over boiling water; beat at high speed until frosting stands in peaks. Remove from heat. Add vanilla to taste. Beat 1 to 2 minutes more or until thick enough to spread.

When I made this recipe, I found that it was a lot like meringue, just using brown sugar, instead of regular. It works especially well with cake donuts.
