Thin and Rich Chocolate Frosting

I must have cut the one out of the paper at least 20 years ago. To ice a 2-layer cake:

  • In a saucepan (or glass bowl if you're going to microwave), melt 3 oz. chopt unsweetened chocolate, then stir in 6 T. roasted almond oil,
  • Blend 1/2 cup sugar with 1 T. cornstarch, then add this to the pan
  • Whisk in 1/2 c. milk
  • Bring this to a boil over moderate heat, whisking. (Or microwave it for about 30 seconds to boil it)
  • Remove pan from heat and stir in 1 t. vanilla
  • Let mixture cool, stirring the frosting "every so often"
  • Frost the cake when the icing is lukewarm and still spreads easily
