QUICK FUDGE FROSTING:

2 squares unsweetened chocolate
1/4 cup butter
3 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup hot light cream or evaporated milk, undiluted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or 1/2 teaspoon rum extract

Melt chocolate over hot water. Remove from heat; let cool.

In medium bowl, combine butter, sugar, salt, and 3 tablespoons hot cream. With wooden spoon, or portable electric mixer at medium speed, beat until mixture is smooth.

Add chocolate; continue beating until frosting is thick enough to spread. Add vanilla.

If frosting seems too thick, gradually beat in a little more hot cream.

Makes enough to fill and frost and 8 - or 9-inch two layer cake.
