rack you can use a cold over rack)

*** To make a chocolate frosting:

In a small bowl add 3 or 4 tablespoons of

icing sugar with 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of

coco powder and a small amount of water.

Stir together until mixed, if it is too runny just

add more icing sugar until it thickens.

Pour over the top of the cake and use a

knife or spatula to spread evenly over the

cake.

Allow it some time to set.

TIP:

How to dust a cake pan

If you are not using a non-stick pan you will need to dust the pan

with flour.

Using paper towel or baking paper wipe a small amount of

margarine on the base and sides of the pan (make sure it is fully

covered with a very thin layer).

If you have baking paper, cut a circle to fit the base of the pan.

Pour a small amount of flour into the pan an move it around the

sides (and base if not using paper). Make sure there is a thin

dusty coating and tip the excess flour out.
