3 cups icing sugar (powdered sugar) |
1/3 cup milk |
Directions:
1. Put 2 inches of water in the bottom of a double boiler.
2. Add the chocolate chips and vegetable shortening to the top of double boiler.
3. Allow the chocolate and shortening to melt.
4. Stir in the sugar a little at a time.
5. Add the milk.
6. Remove the top pot from the heat.
7. Beat frosting with the electric mixer until it is thick and creamy-about 5 minutes.
8. With a metal spatula or knife, spread about 1/3 of the frosting between the two layers and use the rest to cover the top and sided of the cake.
