Chocolate Icing
2 c. sugar 1/4 c. cocoa Pinch salt 1 stick butter 1/2 c. milk 1 tsp. vanilla
Melt butter in milk. Add to sugar and cocoa, mixed well together. Boil for 2 minutes ( or until a drop of the mixtue forms a soft ball when dropped into ice water).
Take off stove, add vanilla and beat until thick enough to spread. Keep the pot on a low stove while spreading the cake to keep it soft. If it should become too firm, just add a few drops of Pet Milk to soften it.
Note: My mom ( now age 90 ) has baked too many of these cakes to count. It has been a favorite at our Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings for decades. The favorite part for the children ( and some of us adults ) is the icing. Mom said that I should note here that she always doubles the recipe for the icing so that she can generously ice the cake and have a little extra for the children ( of all ages ). I hope all of you and your families enjoy this cake as much as we have - and still do !
