Cooked icing may sound complicated but in reality it is very simple and quick and the taste is worth the little extra time! This icing will remind you of fudge!
2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
In a medium saucepan, stir the sugar and cocoa together until blended. Add the butter, milk, and corn syrup to the sugar mixture. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil mixture 2 minutes.
Transfer hot icing into a medium-sized heat-resistant bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Add the vanilla extract. Place the bowl into a large bowl of ice and beat about 5 minutes, or until of spreading consistency, using an electric mixer.
Use to frost cupcakes, using about a tablespoon per cupcake or frost a sheet cake or use as a filling and glaze on a layer cake.
