Aren’t these pretty? I have a meeting to go to tonight and decided we needed a snack. I had never made strawberry cupcakes until a few weeks ago when I had to make a mermaid cake. I really liked it so I decided right away to make strawberry cupcakes. As they were baking I dug into my files to find this frosting recipe. It is so good and uses fresh strawberries.
Strawberry 7 Minute Fluffy Frosting
1 cup Strawberries, mashed
2 Egg whites, unbeaten
1 1/2 cups Sugar
5 tablespoons Strawberry puree
1/2 cup Light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon Lemon juice
Press strawberries through a fine wire sieve. Remove as much of the liquid as you can.
Combine egg whites, sugar, 5 tablespoons strawberry puree, corn syrup, and lemon juice in top of double boiler, beating with rotary egg beater until thoroughly mixed.
Place over rapidly boiling water, beating constantly with rotary egg beater, and cook 6 to 7 minutes, or until frosting will stand in peaks. Remove from boiling water and beat until thick enough to spread.
Makes enough frosting to cover tops and sides of two 8-inch layers. (I frosted 40 cupcakes with this frosting)
