• In a large bowl, beat egg whites with a mixer until they are stiff, but still moist. Pour hot syrup slowly over egg whites while beating. Continue until mixture is very fluffy, and will hold its shape. Add vanilla, and beat until blended. If icing does not seem stiff enough, beat in 2 or 3 tablespoons confectioners sugar 1 tablespoon at a time until stiff enough to hold its shape. Spread on cake.

• Slowly pour the syrup in a fine stream over the egg whites while beating them constantly.
• Add the vanilla extract.
• Continue beating the mixture for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the frosting is cool and the right consistency to spread easily. If the frosting becomes too stiff for the beater, use a wooden spoon to mix.
