4tbsp Cocoa Powder
3tbsp Milk

1) Slowly and gently melt the butter.
2) Add the cocoa and up the heat, cooking it gently for a min or so, then add the icing sugar.
3) When the mix starts to look like cement, add the milk gradually and keep stirring until you have a smooth, glossy paste.
4) Allow it to cool (and make sure the cake has cooled completely!), cut the cake in half and use some of the frosting to sandwich the cake together.
5) Use the rest of the frosting to cover the cake.
6) Have fun decorating :)
