Comments: This is the marshmallowy, billowy cloud of frosting that makes any cake look ethereal, but it's best on cakes with a light crumb, such as the "Birthday Cake" (see recipe). This frosting recipe makes 3 cups, enough to generously frost a two-layer cake. Cakes frosted with Seven-Minute Frosting are best the day they're made, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight cake container up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
