Then make with this dark chocolate frosting:





Mix 1/2 Cup granulated sugar with 2 Tablespoons corn starch.





Pour in COLD 1/2 C milk





Whisk until corn starch is dissolved.





Add a heavy pinch of salt.





Add 2 Oz. unsweetened chocolate squares





Put over medium heat, stirring constantly. Chocolate will melt and then the frosting will come together and thicken. When it is thick enough to drop off a spoon in clumps, pull from the heat.





Add 2 Tablespoons of butter and a teaspoon of vanilla.





Whisk together until incorporated.





Let frosting cool and set a little before putting on the cake, but use while still warm.





This cake is best made at least 1 day ahead for best results.





Also very good with raspberry or strawberry jam in the middle.Does anyone have a really great chocolate cake recipe?
