Print Recipe

Servings: 1 8 inch cake

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

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

Method

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!! 🙂
