Too Easy Chocolate Icing

When I say easy, I mean easy!

If you have a microwave, then zap it, otherwise use a pot that gives a slow even heat.

For a small cake, use:
  • 100 grams of baking chocolate
  • 50 grams of no salt margarine
  • 3 Tablespoons of liquid, any or any combination of water, vanilla, other extracts, strong coffee or how about whiskey for a kick?
  • 4 Tablespoons of sugar

Yes! That's it.

Heat until the chocolate and margarine are melted enough, so you can mix everything up. Then let it cool and thicken before you spread it on the cake, or it won't stick. The cake should also be cool first.

Options: Use the icing for "chocolate anything" balls or loaves. You can add "rice crispies," raw oats, broken cookies--anything!
