Yields: 8 servings
Number of ingredients: 6
Ingredients:
- 2 cups sugar
- ½ cup cocoa
- ½ cup butter (1 stick)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
How to cook:
- Preparation:
- Combine all ingredients in a large, heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Then, without stirring, allow mixture to come to a full, rolling boil. Let it boil for 1 minute and remove from heat.
- Without stirring, allow mixture to cool until the bottom of the pan is just barely warm. This may take some time, and no fair putting it in the refrigerator.
- When mixture has cooled, begin beating. You may use a portable electric mixer or beat by hand. Mixture will gradually begin to thicken over the course of 10 to 15 minutes. When mixture is noticeably thicker and just begins to lose its gloss, it's ready to spread. If it becomes too thick to spread, thin with a teaspoon of milk and mix well.
- Makes enough to fill and frost a two-layer cake.
