This icing for Easter cakes, perhaps, can be called classic. We prepare it on the basis of egg white with the addition of granulated sugar and lemon juice. The mass is sweet with a slight hint of citrus acidity. The coating of such glaze on ready-made cakes looks very elegant. The top layer of the mass dries up, but inside the glaze remains plastic. When cutting, the coating practically does not crumble. However, if the glaze is applied too thinly, it will dry to a crisp and break easily. Therefore, when decorating Easter cakes, we try to choose the optimal layer thickness.

Ingredients

Lemon juice 1 - 2 tsp Egg white 1 PC. Powdered sugar 200 - 250 gr.

Cooking process

We prepare the ingredients. It is better to use natural freshly squeezed lemon juice, remove the seeds upon contact. We measure out the required amount of powdered sugar.

Break the eggs and divide them into yolks and whites. Place the squirrels in a bowl and shake them with a fork until they form a foam with large bubbles.

Pour half of the total volume of powdered sugar to the resulting foam, mix until smooth.

It will be noticeable that the mass becomes lighter and thicker.

Pour lemon juice into the resulting mass and mix again. Now add the remaining icing sugar and achieve the desired thickness. The finished glaze should be quite thick so that it can be spread over the surface of the cakes, and at the same time so that it does not spread. You may need more powdered sugar than indicated in the recipe, as egg whites can be of different sizes. At the end of cooking, the glaze can be tinted with a couple of drops of gel dye.

We immediately cover the surface of the cakes with the finished glaze. The mass dries up pretty quickly, so we do not hesitate. We leave the products on the table so that the glaze dries.

Bon Appetit!
