  • 2 Tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2-3 Tablespoons milk or cream
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350.

    For the Cake Combine cake mix and cocoa in a large mixing bowl. Add water. Beat for 1 minute on low, until just combined. Beat for 1 minute more on medium speed. Pour batter into an ungreased tube pan. Bake according to the package instructions. (About 40-45 min)
