1/2 cup milk |
3 tablespoons cornstarch |
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
2 egg yolks |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
4 tablespoons cream |
Directions:
1. Melt the chocolate and butter together in top of a double boiler.
2. Mix the cornstarch with the milk; add slowly to melted chocolate, stirring until thick and smooth.
3. Add 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar and salt to egg yolks; add to chocolate mixture.
4. Continue to cook while while beating until smooth.
5. Add vanilla and cool.
6. **Usehalf of the mixture to fill or spread between layers of the cake**.
7. Use the other half for frosting by adding remaining 2 cups of confectioners' and the cream slowly to the mixture and beat until smooth.
