• Total Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 pound butter, room temperature
• 12 large eggs, separated, divided
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 pounds confectioners' sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Beat egg whites and salt in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape.

Step 2

Beat egg yolks in a separate large bowl.

Step 3

Beat butter and confectioners' sugar in a third large bowl until light and fluffy; beat in egg yolks and vanilla. Stir in nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and beaten egg whites until well blended.
