Ingredients

  • ½ Cup (1 stick) butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup evaporated milk
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar, milk, and cocoa. Stir and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.

  2. Stir in the vanilla and salt. Beat the mixture with a wooden spoon for a few minutes, let the mixture rest a couple of minutes, and beat again for a couple of minutes until the mixture is thickened but still pourable.

  3. Add chopped walnuts, if desired, or sprinkle the nuts over the frosted cake.
