Place pan over boiling water, being sure that boiling water does not touch the bottom of the top pan. (If this happens, it could cause your frosting to become grainy). Beat constantly on high speed with electric mixer for 7 minutes or until you have stiff peaks. Beat in vanilla. Let sit for 5 minutes and then frost the cake. This is also good on a chocolate cake!
