This is to compliment the other three recipes I have posted - Versatile Lemon Cake, Versatile Chocolate Cake, Versatile Vanilla cakes. I am posting these recipes here because I don't want to lose them!

SERVES 12 , 5 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 large egg whites
3/4 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

1
In a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water, combine egg whites, sugar, salt and water. Cook over medium, stirring constantly, until sugar has dissolved (or mixture registers 150 degrees on an instant-read thermometer), 2-3 minutes.
2
Transfer to a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high until glossy, stiff peaks form (do not overbeat!), about 3 minutes; reduce speed to low and add vanilla extract and beat until just combined.
3
Use immediately.
4
Chocolate Variation: top frosted cake with shaved dark chocolate.
5
Lemon Variation: substitute 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice for vanilla extract.
