CHOCOLATE SHEET CAKE- A CROWD PLEASER

I baked this cake for a meeting tonight and, I noticed that the nine people around the table ate every bite!  This is a QUICK cake to bake and I hope you enjoy it!  


CHOCOLATE SHEET CAKE WITH NANNY'S FUDGE ICING 


1 box chocolate cake mix (make according to package directions)
1 can sweetened condensed milk.


Make the cake according to package directions.  Once it is baked, poke holes in the cake, with the end of a wooden spoon. Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk over the cake and, spread evenly with a spatula. Source: My dear friend Aimee Parkinson (Memphis, TN) gave me this idea many years ago. 
NANNY'S FUDGE ICING 


1 stick butter
1/2 cup cocoa
1 box powdered sugar  (or, 1/2 a large bag) 
1/4 cup milk  (can add add extra 3 T., as needed, to make icing spreadable)
1 t. vanilla


Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.  Add the cocoa and stir until the cocoa is dissolved.  Turn off the heat.  Add the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla.  Stir all together. * In order to make the icing smooth, put back on low heat and, stir until the icing is a spreadable consistency.  Pour over the warm cake.  Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. 


FLAIR TIP:  This cake would make an EXCELLENT birthday cake!  
ENJOY!  Let me know if you like it!!!


ALL THE BEST TO YOU!
