Pourable Fudge Frosting
List of Ingredients
1/2 c. buttermilk
1 c. sugar
1/3 c. dark corn syrup
1/3 c. cocoa
dash salt
1/2 lb. (2 sticks) butter, divided
2 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 t. vanilla extract
Recipe
Over medium-high heat, combine buttermilk, sugar,
corn syrup, salt and half the butter. Bring mixture to a
boil. When mixture reaches the soft-ball stage,
remove from heat. Add remaining butter, powdered
sugar and vanilla. This will have a "pouring
consistency".
TO ASSEMBLE CAKE: prepare cake as directed. When
cake is cooled, place cake in freezer for at least 30
minutes. Prepare buttercream icing, then shape into (1
inch) rolls, placing on frozen cake, 1 inch apart across
the top of the cake. Return to the freezer for at least
an additional 15 minutes. Apply cooled fudge frosting
to top of cake, covering buttercream rolls completely.
Return to freezer for several minutes or more to set
frosting.
