 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      cup           granulated sugar
    4      Tablespoons   unsweetened cocoa
      3/4  cup           milk (whole milk is best)
    1      Tablespoon    butter or margarine
    1      teaspoon      vanilla
 
 Combine sugar, cocoa and milk in small heavy saucepan; cook until mixture
 begins to boil.  Cover, cook for 2-3 minutes until steam washes sugar
 crystals down from sides of pan.  Uncover, reduce heat and cook without
 stirring until mixture reaches soft ball stage (234 degrees).  Remove from
 heat.  Cool mixture until it reaches temperature of 110.  Add butter and
 vanilla, stirring until butter is dossolved.  Pour over warm cake.  Yield
 enough to cover a 13x9 inch cake.  Frosting not suitable for layer cake.
