Chocolate Frosting
Ingredients:
6 tablespoons good quality cocoa, sifted (I use Haigh's)
500 grams icing sugar, sifted
1 1/2 tablespoons liquid glucose
75 grams unsalted butter, softened
2 1/2 tablespoons water
Method:
Slowly blend the sifted cocoa and icing sugar, glucose syrup and butter in a mixing bowl.
When combined, slowly add the water, beating all the time.
When the ingredients have again been combined beat the mixure for a further 15 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy.
This recipe makes enough to cover one 23cm cake
