Ayeshaji's chocolate cake topping

1 tbsp Butter
2 Egg Yolks
1 cup Icing Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
1/2 cup Coco Powder
Milk
  • Melt the butter, and cool slightly before whipping in the egg yolks.

  • Add the icing sugar, coco, and vanilla essence, mixing well.

  • Slowly add milk, until desired consistency is achieved.
This topping may be cooked as well. The recipe will remain the same, except, instead of a bowl, it will be mixed in a sauce pan over a low flame.

  • 1 cup Honey
  • 1 cup hot Water
  • 1 tsp Coffee [instant]
  • 1 tsp Brown Sugar

Mix all the ingredients together. Use this to drizzle on a cake before icing, dabbing with a pastry brush or spoon. It permeates the cake, making it very soft and moist!
