Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1/2 c. water
1-1/2 c. granulated white sugar
2 T. Karo light corn syrup
1/4 tsp. Cream of tartar
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 pinch salt
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions:
Directions:
In a heavy saucepan, combine the water, sugar, Karo syrup and cream of tartar together; stir to blend and bring to a boil over medium heat stirring until sugar is completely dissolved. Cover the pan and bring mixture to a full rolling boil. Remove the lid and continue boiling without stirring until the syrup spins a thread when a small amount is dropped from the back of the spoon back into the boiling mixture (soft-ball stage - temperature of 242ºF on a candy thermometer). Remove syrup from the heat.

Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites and pinch of salt with an electric mixer until foamy and soft peaks begin to form. Continue beating egg whites while gradually adding the hot syrup to the bowl in a thin steady stream, down the side of the bowl, avoiding the beaters. Add the vanilla and continue to beat on high until stiff peaks form, about 8 to 10 minutes. Continue beating until frosting is the right consistency to spread easily. Frost the cake immediately. The frosting will thicken more as it cools. Spread frosting on first cooled cake layer. Repeat with other layers, and complete frosting the sides and top of cake. Top the frosted cake with coconut, chopped nuts, grated chocolate, etc. as soon as you finish frosting the cake.
