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.
