Oh do I have fond memories of Mom making this frosting for cakes. There would be a nice thick layer of frosting on her cakes. I would then peel the frosting off the cake and eat the cake first, saving the delicious frosting for last. This works with both white and chocolate cake.
Enjoy!

Cook over low heat 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add milk and stir until boiling.
Take off stove and cool.
