American Frosting:

me)

Beat the egg white till stiff. Add sugar in the hot water gradually and
continue whisking till peaks form.
Method
Cream together butter, sugar, and then eggs one at a time.
Sift together the flour and the baking powder.
Fold in.
Add the essence and the milk to make a soft consistency.
Bake for 40 mins. Cool.
Sandwich with coffee/walnut cream . Frost and add walnuts for
decoration before the frosting sets completely.
