Wow so good and not nearly as hard as some people said. Just get the temp of the syrup right and your golden,
Make sure you have a thermometer

My mom used to make me chocolate cake with 7 minute frosting for my birthday. I thought I'd try to recreate it this year. I looked at this and several other recipes online but came back to Martha's. The instructions were great and easy but I found the final consistency to be too "eggy" almost like a meringue rather than the frosting I remember my mom making. I might try it again with less egg whites.

I tried this recipe yesterday and I must say I wasn't that thrilled. I have made a version of this before, but I only got a thermometer for Christmas, so looked here for some advice about how hot the mix should be. As I was doing it I felt that 160 is just too high. I would have stopped around 110 normally and I was really worried about the egg cooking. When I whisked it up the texture of the meringue was not smooth and silky like I was hoping, and not at all shiny like in the past.

PS- You can make meringue cookies w/ leftovers. 325 for 25-30 min rotatate 1/2 way.

I didn't make the cake but I did make the 7 minute frosting and it was devine! I've never attempted this frosting before and it's easily the most beautiful and I love the meringue taste- light, fluffy and not too sweet.
What may have helped me was I used room temp eggs, which I hear helps with volume. I even used 1 less egg white because I was short and a 1/4 less sugar. I beat until it reached 140 degrees, which felt like longer than 2 min. Also used only 1/2 tsp vanilla.

This cake was very good. The lemon filling was perfect for summertime. I opted to use a butter cream frosting instead of the 7 minute frosting, and they paired nicely.

I made the frosting twice and it would not whip up and thicken but the cake and filling were great. so I would only give it 3 stars. who has a stand mixer? no one I know. mr_saws@yahoo.com

This frosting works out beautifully but only looks nice one day on the cake. The day after making it the surface had many small dots, as popped air bubbles,. It started melting into the cake and made it very soggy. Nice start but a poor finish. I did follow the recipe - so I wonder if maybe the conditions in which I kept the cake (cake plate and glass dome) did not provide a too humid environment.
