How to Make German Chocolate Cake Icing
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup evaporated milk, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter.
- Add a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil, about 12 minutes. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Let the icing cool completely to room temperature before frosting your cake. This allows it to thicken and set.
- Frost two 8-inch layers or one 9x13-inch cake. Enjoy!
