For a richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder. Ensure the cake is completely cooled before icing to prevent melting. If the icing becomes too thick, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached. For a glossy finish, add a tablespoon of corn syrup to the saucepan along with the other ingredients. This icing is best used immediately after making, as it will continue to thicken as it cools.
