Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Medium
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10-15 minutes
Yield: enough for a 9×13 cake
1 1/2 C Sugar
1/2 C Cocoa (unsweetened powder)
1/2 C. (8 Tbs) Butter
1/2 C. Evaporated milk
1 T light corn syrup
1 1/2 C Powdered (Confectionery) Sugar
1 1/2 t pure vanilla
Directions:
Cook first five ingredients on medium heat, slow boil until it comes to a simmer and thickens (about 1 to 1 1/2 min.). Remove from heat and add vanilla. Have ready 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar. Cool 5 min. beat in powdered sugar with mixer or vigorously by hand. (If gritty, return to heat for 1 min.) Spread on hot or cooled cake. *If the icing is too hard, it has been cooked too long. Next time, try about 1 min. This icing is a little trouble, but I never have any cake left. If my guests don’t eat the last piece, they take it home.
