Time 8m

Yield 1 cup, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 -3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup boiling water
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • In a medium sauce pan whisk together sugar & cornstarch (do not turn on stove top yet). Whisk in cocoa & salt.
  • *Make sure you have nothing else to attend to in the next minute becasue this part needs your full attention: Add boiled water and whisk to get out as many clumps as possible. Turn stove to medium-high heat and begin whisking. Cook until mixture thickens (which happens almost instantly). Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. It will be the consistency of pudding.
  • Spread hot icing onto cooled cake. Enjoy!
  • *Note: I used an electric kettle to boil my water.
