Yield: Don't know the exact yield, but it's enough to crumb coat and frost 2 round cakes (6 inch and 3 1/2 inch). And there's about a cup leftover.

Ingredients:
5 egg whites
1 cup sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, cubed

Procedure:

• Put the egg whites and sugar in a saucepan. Heat up and stir constantly until the mixture is warm to the touch.
• Transfer to a mixing bowl and whisk until stiff peak.
• Still mixing, add in the butter a couple at a time.
• Once everything is added in, continue mixing. The mixture won't look like buttercream at this stage, but continue mixing. The mixture would even turn into like a curddled cream, don't worry it's normal. Continue mixing until it will eventually become buttercream.
• You can also add flavor to this buttercream by adding jams, flavor extracts of your preference or 90 g of melted chocolate.

Bon appétit,

Charlotte
