Time 40m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups sugar (I use Splenda Blend)
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup evaporated milk (or use half-and-half )
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa, and salt, and stir or whisk to mix everything well.
  • Add the butter and place over medium heat, stirring to melt the butter and mix everything together into a smooth, brown sauce.
  • Add the milk, stir well, and bring the frosting to a boil, stirring often and adjust the heat to maintain an active but gentle boil, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.
  • When the frosting begins to thicken, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla and set it aside to cool for about 20 minutes.
  • Beat the frosting just until it thickens and looks shiny, and then spread it over the cake or the layers you want to ice.

When I first got married, my husband told me that his favorite cake was a simple yellow cake with chocolate icing. I wanted to make a birthday cake for him from scratch, and this was the result. He never would eat a box cake again! This is especially nice with a tall glass of milk.
