1 1/2 c. sugar
6 tbsp. water
3 egg whites
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. 10X sugar
Dash salt

Boil sugar and water until mixture spins a thread when drop falls from edge of spoon. Remove from heat and very gradually pour over 3 egg whites, already beaten until stiff (as if for meringue), beating the mixture constantly, using electric mixer and large mixing bowl. Add vanilla and 10X sugar. Immediately frost cake, enough for 3 layers. Coconut may be sprinkled on top and between layers.
