The perfect protein glaze for decorating Easter cakes: how to cook it right

If you plan to bake Easter cakes, you need to decide what to decorate them with. You can cook different types of glaze, but protein glaze is considered one of the best. We at joy-pup tell you how to cook it to get the perfect result.

Ingredients:

• Eggs (whites) – 2 pcs.
• Icing sugar – 200-250 g
• Lemon juice – 1 tsp. (or a pinch of citric acid)
• Vanilla – optional

Important! Use only fresh eggs and carefully separate the whites from the yolks. The bowl and whisks must be absolutely clean and fat-free.

Step-by-step preparation

• Whip the egg whites with a mixer at medium speed until foam appears. Then increase the speed and continue whipping until soft peaks form.
• Gradually add the powdered sugar. Do not pour in all the powder at once, add it 1 tablespoon at a time, continuing to whip. It is important to achieve a dense and smooth consistency, similar to thick sour cream.
• Add lemon juice. It gives shine and improves the stability of the glaze. It also prevents sugar crystallization.
• Check the readiness of the glaze, it should be dense, shiny and hold its shape well. You can also add a drop of food coloring to it to get a certain color.
