Richmond Chocolate Frosting

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
