Recipe - Chocolate Fudge Frosting--Taste Of Home Version

1 cup Granulated sugar
4 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa
Three fourths cup Milk (whole milk is best)
1 tablespoon Butter or margarine

Combine sugar, cocoa and milk in small heavy saucepan; cook until mixture
begins to boil. Cover, cook for 23 minutes until steam washes sugar
crystals down from sides of pan. Uncover, reduce heat and cook without
stirring until mixture reaches soft ball stage (234 degrees). Remove from
heat. Cool mixture until it reaches temperature of 110. Add butter and
vanilla, stirring until butter is dossolved. Pour over warm cake. Yield
enough to cover a 13x9 inch cake. Frosting not suitable for layer cake.
