chocolate angel food cake in the oven a few minues ago. Will frost that
with a fluffy white frosting (7-minute?).
Try this one. You'll love me for it:

That's a great frosting! It was either you are Barb Schaller that passed
it along to me quite a while ago. I almost always use that to frost the
Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate chocolate Cake and we both love it. I've also
used it on this chocolate angel food cake before.
Alas, I am out of shortening and low on butter, so decided on the other
frosting for this cake. I don't want to have to run to the store.
Actually, this frosting is fat-free, so is probably a good choice for a
totally fat-free dessert.
This is the frosting I'm using. Got it off the web somewhere, but no
attribution.
Fluffy White Frosting
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/3 cup water
dash of salt
2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla
In a saucepan, combine sugar, cream of tartar, water and a dash of salt.
Cook until bubbly and the sugar dissloves.
In a mixer bowl combine egg whites and vanilla. Add sugar syrup very slowly
to the unbeaten egg whites while beating constantly at high speed using an
electic mixer. Do this for 7 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
This will frost the top and side of two 8 or 9 inch layers or one 10-inch
tube cake.
Thanks again, Carol!
