Chocolate Icing

1/4 C Butter or Margarine
2 Tbsp Cocoa
3 Tbsp Milk
1 Lb Powdered Sugar
2 tsp Vanilla
Nuts, optional

Boil butter, cocoa, and milk.
Take off heat and add powdered sugar, vanilla, and nuts, if desired.
Frost the cake while it is still hot from the oven, though you can still ice it after it cools.
Add 1/2 tsp powdered coffee for mocha flavor, if desired.

This icing makes box cakes taste like they were made from scratch.
