I actually made this frosting a few days ago for my (KAF) Vanilla Cake, since I ran out of confectioners sugar for buttercream frosting. The cake was amazing good, the frosting was..not so good. I used your exact recipe - no deviations. It looked beautiful, stiffened up nice, but there was no flavor and way too sweet. The lack of flavor surprised me, I used Vanilla Bean Crush. Sorry, but I won't be making this again. Sorry you didn't like it, Sherry. I think a meringue frosting is by definition very sweet, which is probably why it does so well with chocolate, where the slight bitterness of the chocolate can be a foil. So, live and learn, eh? 7-minute frosting + vanilla cake = a no-no! :) PJH
