There’s something timeless about Old-Fashioned Seven-Minute Frosting — the kind your grandmother might have spread over a tall chocolate cake or a batch of cupcakes for Sunday dinner. This glossy, cloud-like icing is light, airy, and beautifully sweet without being heavy. Its signature texture comes from gently cooking egg whites and sugar over simmering water, creating a smooth meringue with just the right amount of shine and lift. Perfect for layer cakes, cupcakes, or any dessert that needs a touch of vintage charm, this frosting is as beautiful as it is delicious.
