Method

  • 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.
