Quick & Easy Fudge Icing

When you’re in a hurry and want a lovely ooey gooey fudgey type icing but without all the work of making it the ‘long’ way, here is a quick and fantastic way of getting the same results and wonderful flavor (with waaaaaaaaaay less sugar too!!)
Servings 1 8 inch cake

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp. margarine/butter
  • 8 tbsp. icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp. cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla essence
  • some milk

Instructions
 

  • Heat the margarine until it melts, keep the heat on low. Sieve the icing sugar with the cocoa together, then add this into the melted margarine. Stir together, then slowly add milk a teaspoon at a time. You will need about 5-8 tsp. so just have a bowl of milk next to you and keep adding and stirring until you reach a smooth consistency. The icing will thicken as it cools so keep it a bit thinner than what you want the final results to look like.
    Add the vanilla and turn off the heat, immediately ice your cake and sprinkle crushed nuts or cake crumbs. Give it a few minutes to set, and serve!! 🙂

  4. Hi fauzia
    I made a vanilla cake and decided to give it a fudge icing.i followed exactly as you have said.after poring the fudge on to the cake and leaving it to set, when i decided to cut it, the fudge became separate from the cake.it did not stick to the cake.what could have gone wrong?

  5. Hi, it should be pourable, or even slightly thicker. It sets after a while. 🙂 Also make sure that the cake is not humid when you pour the icing. This means the cake should not be soggy or sticky which sometimes happens in humid climates.

    1. 2 tbsp coffee would be way too much. Use 1 tsp instant coffee powder and the rest let it remain cocoa powder. Then once done give it a taste and add more coffee if you need it.

  6. Aslam o alikam, i am realy impressed by your work.i have a question that can we use margarine instead of butter in baking items especialy cakes?

    1. W/Salaam, it depends how long you plan on storing it before serving. If it is a same-day thing, then no need to refrigerate. Otherwise you may refrigerate until you are ready to serve.

    Asalaam o alaikum
    If i do not have icing sugar what can i use?? Can i grind white sugar?

    1. W/Salaam, grinding white
      W/Salaam, grinding white sugar will not make it the same as icing sugar, but you can add 2 tbsp of cornflour per cup of sugar then grind and it will help a little. When you grind sugar it ends up being a bit grainy and not smooth enough.

  9. Asalaam o alaikum, i tried to
