Remember when my husband took our boys camping so I could have time alone to get ready for school?
To welcome them all home, I made a cake.
After making the cake, though, I was too tired to make the frosting.
Pathetic, I know.
And nothing says “Welcome Home” like a naked cake, right?!
Sarcasm completely intended.
So what’s a girl to do?
I remembered a recipe I had for a quick chocolate frosting. It’s thin, more like a glaze, actually.
It took all of two minutes to make, was delicious and definitely said, “Welcome Home” much better than a plain cake ever could. Remember this the next time you need to dress up a dessert but are short on time;)
Cheater’s Chocolate Frosting
- 1 C confectioner’s sugar
- 1/2 C cocoa
- 1/4 C water
Whisk together all three ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cake and let sit until firm. That’s it. Enjoy!
