Electric mixer makes frosting fluffy and light-chocolate color. Nice mixed with spoon, too; then frosting is darker and satiny-
2½ 1-ounce squares unsweetened chocolate
2 cups sifted Confectioners’ sugar
3 tablespoons hot water
1 egg
1/3 cup soft butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
Melt chocolate in mixing bowl over hot water. Remove from heat. With electric mixer blend in sugar and water. Beat in egg, then butter and vanilla. Frosting will be thin at this point, so place bowl in ice water; beat until of spreading consistency. Will frost tops and sides of two 9-inch layers.
