This frosting is light and fluffy in texture, but is very rich tasting.  I love it because it is so versatile!  It goes well with any cake.

2 egg whites
1  1/2 cup sugar
5  Tablespoons Cold water
1/4 teaspoon cream of Tartar
1  teaspoon vanilla

Place egg whites, sugar, water and cream of tartar in a bowl and beat  until thoroughly mixed.  Place over double broiler with rapidly boiling water and beat constantly for 7 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla.  Beat until stiff peaks form.  Frost cake as desired.  Refrigerate.
