Angel Food Cupcakes With Orange Fluffy Frosting

Angel Food Cupcakes With Orange Fluffy Frosting

Diana Rattray
Orange zest and flavoring give this fat-free frosting extra flavor. Use this frosting on an angel food cake or angel food cupcakes.

Ingredients:

  • 3 egg whites, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange flavoring or vanilla extract

Preparation:

Have egg whites at room temperature in a mixing bowl.

In a 1-quart saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Put lid on pan leaving slightly ajar, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove cover; continue boiling without stirring until a drop from the end of a spoon spins a thread about 6 inches long. Try a few drops at a time. Or, use a candy thermometer and cook to about 242° F.

Just before the syrup is ready, begin beating egg whites. Beat until soft peaks form.

When syrup is ready, slowly pour the hot syrup in a thin stream into the egg whites while you continue beating on high speed. A stand mixer works well, but use caution, the syrup is very hot!
