This frosting is quick to make just combine milk, butter and sugar over medium heat, bring to a rolling boil and boil 30 seconds, then remove from heat and add chocolate chips and whisk until smooth and shiny and immediately pour over the cake
Refrigerate until set

Just wrap it tightly and keep it in the freezer for up to three months
Thaw it in the fridge before you frost and serve it
This is one real and powerful combination. This cake is super sweet and it really melts in your mouth so it is perfect choice for real chocolate caramel lovers.
