THE BEST CHOCOLATE FUDGE FROSTING

Steps:

• In a saucepan, over low heat, melt butter. Stir in cocoa powder. Mixture will resemble a thick paste.

• Turn mixer to medium high speed and beat about 5 minutes, until frosting is smooth and creamy.
• Frost cake or cupcakes as desired.

CHOCOLATE FUDGE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Cream together the butter or margarine with the shortening.
• Sift the cocoa with the confectioners' sugar and add to the creamed mixture. Mix together adding 1 tablespoon at a time of milk to keep mixture smooth. Don't add more than 1/4 cup of milk.
• Add the hot fudge topping and the vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.

CHOCOLATE FUDGE ICING

Steps:

• Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl, suspended over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir every now and then until melted. (Alternatively, melt in the microwave, stirring the chocolate every 20 secs so it doesn't burn.)
• Remove the bowl from the heat and leave to cool a little. Meanwhile, put the butter and icing sugar in another large bowl and mash with a spatula to combine (this will prevent you covering the work surface in icing sugar), then whisk with a hand mixer until smooth.
• Sift in the cocoa and pour in the melted chocolate and milk, then mix again until smooth, and use to ice your chosen cake immediately. Will keep in the fridge for up to a week, but remove an hour before using to bring it back to room temperature, and beat well.
