Chocolate Glaze
1 cup icing sugar
2 Tbsp Cocoa
1 Tbsp Butter, softened
4 tsp water or milk

Beat all 4 ingredients together in a small bowl. Add more water if needed to make a barely pourable glaze. Spread over top of cake. Allow some to drizzle down sides a bit. Chill. Serve with or without whipped cream.

Note: A regular 2 layer cake may be used, your own a mix. Being larger it will give more cake per serving.
