six egg whites
1 1/4 c sugar
4 sticks butter
cornstarch
confectioner's sugar
vanilla.
1. Take six egg whites, heat over a double boiler with 1 1/4 c sugar until sugar is dissolved and whites are slightly warmed.
2. beat until stiff and cool, almost 10 min. Beat in 3 sticks of softened butter, two tablespoons at a time.
3. Go to add the last stick and realize that you are in the process of overbeating the egg whites, which have turned into a disgusting, curdled mass:
4. Borrow a food processor from your lovely vegan neighbors. Deveganize it by pulsing your unclean animal product frosting until smooth again.
5. Realize the frosting is too liquidy and frantically add half a box of confectioner's sugar and several tablespoons full of cornstarch.
6. Proceed to make a baller classic greek temple cake despite your hardship.
You know there are just way to many 'how to' recipies and too few documents describing total flops - good review.
ReplyDeleteP.S. What's the greek mean again - turns out high school greek was a long time ago, although I'm pretty sure the first word is a feminine noun.
