- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (I use extra)

- Adjust heat as needed to maintain a simmer.
- Cook over medium low heat, beating with an electric mixer on medium high speed, until frosting holds stiff peaks, about 7 minutes.
- Remove bowl from heat, add vanilla and continue to beat until frosting is glossy and poofy, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
- *This amount covers the top and the middle of a 2 tiered 9 inch layer cake.
