Making Italian meringue is a bit tricky, as it involves bringing the sugar syrup up to the right temperature and then immediately pouring it into beaten egg whites in a slow, steady stream. The hot syrup helps make the meringue stable; the higher ratio of sugar to eggs also contributes to its stability (making it ideal for wedding or other display cakes). Lemon juice or vanilla is added here to complement the flavors of the cake, but they are not essential ingredients for Italian meringue.
