Even better than your regular frosting!
I'm having such a good time going through old recipes, some from my husband's grandmother! That's where I found this amazing chocolate frosting.
This frosting is not just an ordinary chocolate frosting. It's thick and glossy, almost like a pudding and perfect for your favorite chocolate cake! It's also quick and easy...gotta love those kinds of recipes! Haha!
Ingredients:
1 cup granulated sugar
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 (1 oz.) squares unsweetened chocolate, grated or pre-melted envelope
Pinch of salt
1 cup boiling water
3 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Mix sugar and cornstarch; whisk in grated chocolate and salt.
Stir above mixture into boiling water; cook until it's thick enough to spread.
Remove from heat; add butter and vanilla extract.
Spread on cake while hot for a glossy frosting which remains soft and smooth.
A Tip from Grammy:
-You can do this in the microwave, but watch it carefully and stir often.
-Also great over a Boston Cream Pie.
Be encouraged!
For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. -Matthew 7:8
