"This recipe appeared in the February 2006 issue of Martha Stewart Living Magazine. Mrs. Milman also made her famous Chocolate cake on Martha's show recently and I have posted the recipe for that as well. It does take a bit longer to set than specified. Be patient and you will be well rewarded. The prep time of 3 hours includes the 2 hour (or more) refrigeration time. When Mrs. Milman made the cake and frosting on the show Martha's kitchen staff decided to add the light corn syrup (for sheen).....Mrs. Milman said she does not. Either way, it's a great frosting."
