Fudge Frosting

1. 1

   Mix powdered sugar, cocoa and

2. 2

   salt

3. 3

   thoroughly,

4. 4

   so no lumps of cocoa can be seen.

5. 5

   Add

6. 6

   vanilla

7. 7

   and

8. 8

   boiling water. Stir smooth.

9. 9

   Add soft, not melted, butter

10. 10

    and

11. 11

    stir

12. 12

    or beat until smooth, just stiff enough to

13. 13

    spread.

14. 14

    The

15. 15

    frosting may seem too thin at first, but it

16. 16

    stiffens

17. 17

    as it cools.

18. 18

    (If it should get too thick while spreading, stir

19. 19

    in

20. 20

    a few drops of hot water.) Yields enough to cover

21. 21

    two

22. 22

    (8

    or 9-inch) layers generously.
