Heavenly Chocolate Cupcakes with Snow Frosting

Staci at Random Sweets
Snow frosting, also known as 7-minute frosting, has been a birthday tradition in my family since I was a little girl. Now I top my moist heavenly chocolate cupcakes with it. Double the recipe for a layer cake.

Ingredients
  

Cupcakes

  • 15.25 oz chocolate cake mix
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1⅓ cups water
  • 1 cup Miracle Whip salad dressing

Snow Frosting

  • 1 egg white , room temperature
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • dash of salt
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon light corn syrup
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Cupcakes

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 24 muffin cups or line with cupcake papers.
  • Combine all cupcake ingredients. Beat on medium speed until blended.
  • Pour into cupcake pans. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick or cake tester comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.

Snow Frosting

  • In a small double boiler stir together egg white, sugar, salt, water and syrup before setting it over the heat.
  • Cook over soft boiling water (you don't want it to splash), beating with an electric hand mixer 7 minutes, or until frosting will stand in stiff peaks. Remove from heat.
  • Beat in vanilla.
  • Frost cake or cupcakes. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

For 9x13 pan: Pour into greased 13×9 inch pan. Bake at 350° for 30-40 minutes.
This recipe makes one 13×9 inch cake, two 9-inch round cakes or 24 cupcakes.
Double the snow frosting recipe for a layer cake or for more than 24 cupcakes. Can also substitute almond extract or another flavoring for the vanilla.
