Super quick Vegan Butter Icing

This makes a really quick "butter" icing. I use soya fat so that it's vegan.
The quantities below will give you enough to do the middle and top of a cake, with possibly a little left over as a very naughty snack ;)

Ingredients

2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Neither level or heaped, just a happy in the middle tablespoon.

175g icing sugar

1 tablespoon soya butter. Same as the cocoa, not too much or too little ;)

Minimum of 2 tablespoons of near boiling water

A small dash of orange oil or essence

Method

Throughly mix the cocoa and icing sugar so that there is no marbling in colour.

Make a well and place the soya fat in.

Poor in a very a small dash of orange oil.

Add the water for the first two tablespoons one at a time. You may need to add a little more water, if it's too dry, (teaspoons) and mix until smooth.

Or

You may need to add a little more icing sugar if it's to thin.
