So you have baked your Quick and Easy Chocolate Sponge and now want to ice it! Well guess what? we have the most delicious dairy free chocolate icing waiting for you to slather all over your sponge! This icing is also great for cupcakes, tray bakes, fillings and even as ice cream sauce!
You will need:
-20g of dark chocolate-
-180g icing sugar-
-50g dairy free butter (Vitalite or Pure)-
-20g cocoa powder-
1) Melt the chocolate in a heat-resistant bowl, either over a saucepan of water or in a microwave (blast for 10-20 seconds, then stir to prevent the chocolate from burning) and leave to cool slightly.
2) Beat the butter, the cocoa powder and the icing together in a bowl, being gentle at first so that the sugar does not go everywhere!
3) Once the butter and icing sugar are combined, gently pour in the (slightly cooled) melted chocolate and stir until well combined.
4) Spread on the inside and outside of all of your chocolate baked goodies!
Top tip- put the icing in the fridge to set for a little bit. This makes it thicker and fudgier!
We hope you enjoy this perfect cake icing as much as we loved licking the bowl afterwards!
