This was the only white frosting I liked as a kid. It's light and fluffy, sweet but not too sweet (to my childhood taste buds, at least). Topped with shredded coconut, it makes a cake look something like a giant Hostess Snowball cupcake. I remember it as being just as good without the coconut.
Beat-n-Eat Frosting
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg white unbeaten
1/4 cup boiling water
1 package coconut
Place sugar, cream of tartar, vanilla and egg white in a small deep bowl.
Mix well.
Add boiling water to egg white mixture.
Beat with beaters until mixture will stand in peaks.
Spread between layers and on top and sides of cake.
Sprinkle all over with coconut.
I remember Mom using her stand mixer to make this in a glass bowl. She poured the hot water in slowly as the mixer was going on slow speed, then increased the speed to high once all the water had been added.
