Guatemalan Icing!!!

The easiest icing you will ever make! And so delicious! In Guatemala it is traditional to put a scoop in a little pastry holder, like a cupcake holder and sprinkle some cinnamon! Yummy! But here I used it for a two layer cake :)

TURRON (Guatemalan Icing - made  out of eggwhites and sugar :)
(Serving - enough to frost a two layer cake 8 inches in diameter)

WHISK ALL THESE INGREDIENTS OVER HOT WATER FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES IN A STAINLESS STEEL BOWL.
(whisk constantly - don't stop or your eggs will cook!)
this dissolves sugar and makes mixture hot
4 eggwhites
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey or light corn syrup
1/8 tsp. salt

WITH A HANDHELD BEATER OR STANDING MIXER - PUT ON AND BEAT AT HIGH SPEED - UNTIL IT TURNS WHITE AND THEN ADD 1 TSP. VANILLA

CAKE!!!

We made this cake today for my grandfathers 90th birthday! He loved it! It is vanilla with a little almond extract and turron!
