Stove Top Chocolate Frostingfilling Recipes

STOVE TOP CHOCOLATE FROSTING/FILLING

Steps:

• 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.

ONE MINUTE CHOCOLATE ICING

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa powder, milk, butter and vanilla. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Using an electric mixer, beat icing for 3 minutes, or until mixture cools and thickens to spreading consistency. Spread onto completely cooled cake.

CHOCOLATE FROSTING WITH COCOA POWDER AND POWDERED SUGAR

Steps:

• Sift sugar.
• Heat butter in a small pan on medium heat, do not let butter get brown.
• When butter is melted, whisk in cocoa, milk, and vanilla. Add sugar 1/2 cup at a time, whisking after each addition.
• Remove from heat, after all the sugar has been added.
• Whisk until smooth.
• Immediately pour over cake.
• If icing is too thin, add additional sifted sugar 1/4 cup at a time until desired thickness or sit it in the refrigerator a few minutes. Take it out and whisk it until creamy again.
• Frosting will thicken as it cools, but it'll be harder to spread.
