Quick White Icing
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoonfuls powdered sugar
- 1 white of egg
- Flavor with rose, vanilla or lemon
Directions
Mix the sugar and white of egg together in a bowl by merely stirring. Spread this semi-transparent mixture over the cake. A rim of paper put around the sides of the loaf will retain the frosting in place until it hardens. Leave in a warm place for an hour or two to dry. The frosting may be colored pink by a drop or so of prepared cochineal color. Icing is more tender made in this way than where the egg is beaten to a froth before adding the sugar.
