The Icing On The Cake

What's a cake without an icing? It's like candy without sugar. So for all you lazy people out there who don't want to break a sweat, here's a chocolate cake icing recipe.

What you need:
1 stick unsalted butter
1 tin sweetened condensed milk
1 tin evaporated milk
3 tbsp cocoa powder
non-stick saucepan
wooden spatula

And it goes like this:
1) Heat the saucepan over low-medium heat and melt the butter
2) Once the butter is completely melted, pour the rest of the ingredients.
3) Keep on stirring continuously until everything is completely mixed.
4) Eventually, the mixture will start to thicken.
5) Once it begins to thicken, take it off the flame and evenly spread it over the cake.

Ta-da!you're done!

Cooking notes:
* Evaporated milk-5 fl.oz.
* Condensed milk 396g
* Cocoa powder can be substituted with drinking chocolate or hot cocoa powder.
* Make sure that you keep stirring the mixture continuously or you'll end up with clumpy icing.
* The mixture should be sticky and thick enough that when you run the spatula through the mixture, we should be able to see the bottom of the pan.
* When the mixture is thick, pour it over the cake pronto!

The end result:
