Chocolate Fudge Icing.

This quantity is enough to fill & ice an 8" cake:

2oz butter or margarine
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespooons cocoa
8oz sifted icing sugar

Put butter, milk & cocoa into a saucepan & heat gently til all melted. Take off the heat & cool slightly, then add the icing sugar - about a quarter of it at a time - then beat til smooth.


It tastes lovely, not as sickly as buttercream but nicer than plain glace icing. It also sets, but not firmly, so it's in between butter icing & glace.
