Seeking Classic Chocolate Icing Recipe for Yellow Cake – My Dad’s Favorite from Childhood!

[1i11a]

I’m wondering if anyone has a personal old fashion chocolate icing that hardens with yellow cake recipe. My dad said that when he was little he always had that for his birthday or special occasions and I’d never heard of it bc I’m only 21

but I tried looking online with him and it still didn’t really give us what we were looking for so if anyone knows what I’m talking about and has a passed down recipe or their own recipe for this cake icing please let me know.

It’s called boiled icing

Boiled Chocolate Icing

This boiled chocolate icing recipe is an old-fashioned treat, resulting in huge chocolate fudge chunks that just melt in your mouth.

I always dumped some sugar, cocoa, butter, and milk in pan. Brought it to a boil till it made a soft ball in cold water. But I liked it better not cooked so long so it stayed gooey. Poke holes in the cake and pour it on. Do not forget to add vanilla. It is kind of like the mixture for no bake oatmeal cookies. Without the peanut butter everybody seems to use nowadays.

My Mother’s recipes. One makes more frosting ( 2 cups of sugar one). Very easy to make. Been using these for 60 years.

Might be the one where you boil it 1 minute for icing or 2 minutes for fudge. My mom made the best like this.

Hersheys website has recipes using cocoa

 

[lumomolo]

Look up the Hershey coco recipe

 

[burns]

6 level tablespoons of flour, about that much cocoa heaped up )more if you like more Chocolate). Mix cocoa and flour together. Melt 3 or 4 tablespoons of butter and mix with flour and cocoa to
Make a thick paste. Make a sugar syrup by mixing a cup and a half of sugar, about 1/2 water and a scant tablespoon of Karo syrup and cook until it spins a thread. When it spins a thread , mix the cocoa mixture into it until
It is the consistency you want . The longer you beat it, the harder and thicker it will get. My 91 year old Mama is sitting here telling me the recipe.
She said use a yellow butter batter cake mix to make the cake.
