Categories: Dessert Celebrity Frosting
Yield: 1 Servings
| 1 1/2 | c | Sugar |
| 3/4 | c | Water |
| 1 | tb | Light corn syrup |
| 1 | ds | Salt |
| 4 | oz | Unsweetened Chocolate |
| 4 | tb | Butter |
| 1 | ts | Vanilla |
Combine sugar, water, corn syrup, and salt in small saucepan. Bring quickly
to a boil, stirring only until sugar is dissolved. Then boil, without
stirring, until mixture forms a very soft ball in cold water (232~). Cool
to lukewarm (110~). Melt chocolate in medium saucepan over boiling water.
Add butter and vanilla. Remove from boiling water. Add syrup gradually,
stirring constantly. Continue stirring until smooth and thickened. Place
again over boiling water and stir until frosting is softened and of right
consistency to spread. Remove from boiling water and spread on cake. If
necessary, place over hot water to keep soft while spreading. Makes enough
frosting to cover tops and sides of two 7-1/2 x9" layers. By
