2 cups sugar
2 Tablespoons golden syrup
3 Tablespoons (or less) cocoa
½ cup evaporated milk (undiluted)
A pinch of salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
2 Tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Method:
Cook sugar, golden syrup, cocoa and milk and salt on a very small fire till sugar is dissolved, stirring a little now and then to prevent burning. When sugar is dissolved and mixture is boiling, increase heat, stirring all the time.
When mixture begins to thicken, place a drop or two in a cup of cold water and if it forms a soft ball in your fingers, add butter, baking powder & vanilla, and stir well.
Remove pan from fire. Cool until lukewarm. Then beat until creamy and of right consistency to spread over cake.
