Cooked Cocoa Cake Frosting

(very dark chocolatey taste)

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Bake a packaged chocolate layer cake and cool layers.

2. Mix sugar, cornstarch, cocoa & salt in small pot.

3. Add water and cook, stirring constantly until mixture thickens to a pudding-like texture.

4. Remove from heat and add butter & vanilla, beating until smooth.

5. Frost cake while mixture is still warm because frosting firms up as it cools

Frosting the Cake

1. 1. Put first layer cake on platter and pour some of the frosting mixture on, spreading just to the edges of the layer.

   2. Put 2^nd cake layer on top of that. Pour the rest of the frosting mixture on the top and spread so it just spills slightly over the edges of the top.

   3. You will see the cake edges with frosting sliding down the sides, but not completely covering the sides.

   4. You can leave plain, or sprinkle chopped nut (or whatever you want) over the top.
