As a kid, I LOVED it when my mom frosted her cakes with 7 minute frosting...full of sweet marshmallowy goodness.
Most recipes for this frosting require beating the frosting over a double boiler for 7 minutes. Unfortunately, I have a Bosch mixer which won't let me do that.
This great little recipe still gives you that great taste and texture, without the double boiler.

2 egg whites
1 c. sugar
1/3 c. water
1/4 t. cream of tartar
1/8 t. salt
1 t. vanilla
In mixing bowl, beat egg whites until white and foamy. They should form a mound, but NOT peaks.
Set aside while preparing syrup.
In saucepan, combine sugar, water, and cream of tartar. Bring to a boil and continue to cook and stir until the sugar is completely melted.
Turn on mixer and begin beating eggs whites again. Remove syrup from stove and in a thin steady stream, slowly pour into egg white mixture.
Continue beating until stiff peaks are formed.
Mix in vanilla.
Spread over cooled cake or cupcakes.
