Chocolate Fudge Icing
Submitted by PaddyL on June 13, 2009 at 10:36 am

4 oz. (squares) unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup (4 oz.) unsalted butter
4 cups icing sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 tsps. vanilla

Melt the chocolate with the butter in a heavy-bottomed pot. Let cool slightly.

In a small to medium bowl, mix the icing sugar, milk, and vanilla. Add the cooled chocolate, then beat till your arm is falling off, or beat over a bowl of ice water, or put into the fridge for about 12 minutes until the icing is thick and spreadable.

Goes perfectly on the Chocolate Buttermilk Cake, or any other cake you'd like. Makes enough to fill and frost a 2 or 3 layer cake, with a bit left over for piping.
