Ingredients
- Ingredients:
- Yield: 2 cups, enough for a two layer 9″ round cake or a 9×13″ pan.
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon cocoa
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
Preparation
Step 1
Directions:
1.Mix all ingredients except for vanilla together in a sauce pan. Cook over medium heat until butter is melted, whisking gently to blend ingredients.
2.Bring mixture to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally until it boils. Boil on medium heat for exactly two minutes. DO NOT STIR OR MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH MIXTURE.
3.Remove from stove, stir in vanilla, and let sit for five minutes.
4.Begin stirring and stir until icing loses a little bit of the shine, or your arm falls off, whichever comes first. Frosting will thicken as it cools.
5.Pour over cake, letting it drip over the sides. Spread as needed. Eat the last spoonful as a reward for all that stirring.
