Here's an easy chocolate icing for Robin.
My recipe says make 1/2 recipe for 9 X 13 sheet cake, 1/3 recipe for 8 X 8 square pan and 1/6 recipe for a loaf pan. Heating the cocoa in the margarine gives a rich, chocolate flavor. You could probably use butter or shortening in place of the margarine, but I've never used them.
