Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine the sugar and milk (minus 1 tablespoon) in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, uncovered, and let it boil hard for 2 minutes without stirring.
  4. Cover the pan and boil for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the steam condenses and washes down the sides of the pan.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat immediately and add the grated chocolate.
  6. Let the mixture stand for one minute to allow the chocolate to soften slightly.
  7. Beat the icing vigorously with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until it becomes thick, creamy, and glossy.
  8. Spread the icing over the cake while it is still warm and soft.
