Chocolate Fudge

- 50g/2oz margarine
- 25g/1oz cocoa, sifted

To make the icing, melt the margarine in a small pan, add the cocoa and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the milk and icing sugar. Beat well until smooth. Cool a little until of spreading consistency.

Perhaps we prepared it wrong, or need some expert guidance…
The cake’s nice though, regardless.
So you could say you kinda ended up with chocolate gravy? 😉
