Using an electric mixer beat the cream cheese until soft and smooth.
Add the sifted icing sugar, cocoa and vanilla and mix until light and
fluffy. This should produce enough frosting to decorate the top of the
cake and provide a layer of chocolate ‘cream’ through the centre.
Ingredients
2 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
6 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
In a medium bowl, sift together the confectioners' sugar and cocoa,
and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter until smooth, then gradually beat in
sugar mixture alternately with evaporated milk. Blend in vanilla. Beat
until light and fluffy. If necessary, adjust consistency with more milk
or sugar.
