A quick and easy recipe to follow if you want to top your cake or cupcakes with an orange flavor icing.

Ingredients

2 large egg whites
1-1/2 C. granulated sugar
1/4 C. plus 1-Tbs. cold water
2 Tbs. light corn syrup
1/2 tsp. orange extract
1 tsp. orange zest, grated

Directions

Combine all ingredients, except orange extract and zest, in the top of a double boiler or bowl. Bring water in the bottom of the double boiler or saucepan (if using a bowl) to a simmer. Place top of the double boiler or the bowl over the simmering water. Immediately begin whipping mixture 3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed. Increase speed to high and beat another 3 minutes. Remove top of double boiler. Add orange extract and zest. Beat 1 minute on high speed until mixture holds stiff peaks and is satiny. Makes enough to fill and frost a double layer 8 or 9 inch cake.
